. >> richard, is it enough? because you now think, what? chance of a recession are 50/50? look. people -- people in the market i talk to are being very polite when you ask them what they think the chance of the recession. i asked the chief economist of the imf today what the chance of a recession and they all talk about, well, it's getting potentially more likely. 50/50 is being generous. if we continue with this disruption, it really goes the other way. >> here's the thing about this. you know, a recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of declines in quarterly gdp. gdp last year was just north of 2%. you have some economists -- some of the leading economists have come out and said the second and third quarter, we may not even grow at all. now, the question for everyone i have talked to is the size and length. what everyone is talking about is the uncertainty around the time horizon. and what the longer-term consequences will be. but i can tell you that with every ceo, and i'm talking i spoke to the largest companies in the world today. what they are all saying is they

richard burr u.s. senator and head of the senate intelligence committee reassured everyone that the us government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here is what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a public health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story here's a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club we want. you to. she is. probably. you need to. burry even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to travel you might have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a video conference why risk is needl

richard has had a long career. he is now the chief executive officer, the center for new american security, which i say with some jealousy is doing incredibly creative work on issues relating to u.s. national security. richard wrote for many years for john mccain's policy advisor in the state department, national security council and also the senate committee. so the warm welcome to both of you danielle and richard, it's wonderful to have you both here again. without further ado, let me invite colin to present the key teams of his book before i yield the floor for their comments, we have a brief conversation that will open the i conversation to the floor and i look forward to your interaction during that time. thank you colin and welcome. >> thank you ray much for this invitation. it just so happens that this mipanel includes three people al of whom's experience and expertise in views i really respect so it is a real pleasure to be here with danny richard as well without danny this book probably would not of happen

richard harding davis. richard harding davis. he is a conceited but well-known playwright who becomes famous. "soldiers of fortune" still in print, you can still get it through amazon. it's sort of a romance novel in which he sort of depicted himself as a central character. richard harding davis. he was the son of a newspaper editor and his mother was a writer, rebecca harding davis was her name. remington and tavs were assigned by hurst to go to cube camera and they were there to cover the rebellion in cuba against colonial spanish rule. that was their assignment. hurst, as he would want to do, paid generously for the talent. he paid richard harding davis $3,000 for one month's work. in 1897 money, that was a lot. today it's worth about $90,000. $90,000 for a month's work. hurst pays generously for top-line talent. also in the lineup of who was whom in this myth, the first to mention this anecdote, creelman, the first to report exchange of telegrams, you furnish the pictures and i'll furnish the war. his m

. >> richard, one. debates, the political debates over this is where is the right place to put the money. do we give it all in the form of checks to lower income taxpayers, or -- bailouts to industry. you say? >> every time i talk about bailing out the airlines or the hospitality, my email box overflows with people using vulgarities about over the top. this is not the time to go over the cliff on a matter of principle that you don't want to bail out some fat cats. that's the long and short of it. get over it. you're going to have to bail out boeing. you have to bail out the airlines. there's simply no other way to do it. you may put strings ont you may -- each one has to follow best practice on executive pay. but if you do not want a full scale depression with the collapse of the airline industry and transportation in this country, then think about not bailing out the airlines. i promise you it will happen. don't hang yourself on the principle of executive banks. >> as you understand it, when will ameri

well those it had richard pryor in it and when he was richard pryor was one of the more due to our wild valley that that's all that's a whole nother show in and of itself i guess not to compare to it on any level but my my hollywood career consists of i was i had 17 lines in a movie called the heart it was with brad davis it was a big boxing movie in the era of the rocky movies so it didn't you know get anything anywhere and i never met brad davis who later passed away but nonetheless that's my claim to fame so when you're bored one day look it up heart in the sports guy interviewing they've trainer said yet you will recognize i got this long curly hair and on the last life that you want to get your book you've got you've got a book in there now called the goat as in the greatest of all time so when you told me that of take it ok it's of mohammad ali book it's not true things that very easy for me to ask because this is what i read about it's about then gelber. and jay reynolds there that who are those guys there in the book what's it telling a little bit about the moment and see what t

eastern here on msnbc, and we're going to see more of richard's reporting ahead on "morning joe." >>> let's switch gears for a moment and bring in nbc meteorologist bill karins with a check of your forecast. >> one of the maddening things is people want the hard facts and hard numbers and they have to gather them and put the numbers together. >> and i think also what's so troubling when you hear from richard is there's this lack of coordination across the world whereas this is the time to be coordinating. >> i wanted to ask richard because he spent time in the u.s. following this story as to how the u.s. response compares to that outside of the world, and what we're hearing so far from the preparedness of the tests or how quickly these tests are getting out, the information flow, that you're talking about bill, it's just not up to par. some health officials are saying, i believe from hhs saying that the mortal raity ra is much lower. >> it's much higher for the elderly. >> a lot of confusion. >> i know. and they'll sort it out. just the science has to come around and then they'll put

richard, quickly if you will. before i take a break here, can you talk to me because i think one of the hardest hit is going to be the airlines. what is that going to mean for the larger economy? >> i can't overstate the perilous situation of the airlines globally. the u.s. fundamentally is in a better position. the airlines in america were doing well and robust, and their balance streets are strong. but the job losses are going to be high. the root networks are being destroyed. you're talking about airlines flying one flight and that will ripple through the economy. if there's one industry that probably does deserve government help tonight -- give me two. i'll take the airline industry and the cruise industry. >> and not far behind the service industry as well, meaning restaurants because they are -- they're closed for at least a couple of weeks. >> yeah. >> waiters and service people. i mean, richard, i've got to go but thank you so much. richard quest, thank you very much. john, thank you very much as well. dr.

richard reynolds lost his roofing job. he was working on the new facebook building in santa clara county, but the work has been deemed non-essential, so richard was sent home. >> they told us that because of the pandemic or the covid-19 virus we're not available to return to work until april 7th. that's too many days of a gap to receive any kind of money or leniency to even pay rent. >> we would really like to see a full rent and mortgage holiday so that payments are reduced to 0. >> reporter: brad hearn is a community organizer with the community rights committee of san francisco. he's pushing for more protection for tenants like richard on a statewide level, including direct financial assistance, rent and mortgage holidays, and a full stop on evictions and forclosures. >> things like this become sensible in a crisis. it should be sensible that there's no economic impact on people when they're struggling to survive. >> reporter: president trump did call for a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures for single family home

business anchor richard quest. and dr. richard besser, who is in studio with me, former acting director of the cdc. john, how you doing? >> good. >> so reality appears, correct me if i am wrong, to be setting in with the president of the united states that this crisis is getting worse. that this crisis is real. do we know what happened to change his tone today? >> i think a couple things, don. first of all, the society, as a whole, bottom up, was racing past where the administration was. and so the nba, march madness, disney land, broadway, school superintendents around the country, governors, democratic and republican, were acting to shut down much of daily life. no president can ignore that for long. that's a reality check. second of all, you had people like anthony fauci increasingly in his presence say -- talk about the need for tougher action and anthony fauci's got a very strong reputation around the country. and, third, i think the president was very struck by what's happened in the markets in the last couple days.

is that a good sustainable economic policy argument, dennis, and then richard? >> the tax cuts and deregulation aren't a policy. they're actually soundbites that substitute for policy. what is your objective, and how is it going to achieve the outcome you want? if what you want is a mainstream economy that lifts everybody up, that has broad-based prosperity and opportunity, tax cuts aren't going to get you there, neither is deregulation. what you need, what biden and sanders need are policies that actually are going to have broad-based prosperity rather than what you have now, which is massive transfer of wealth from almost everybody to the top. that's not sustainable. >> what you're saying in plain english is corruption, this richard is the argument that when you get down to it, the way it works and the people who have the ability to get the loopholes, it's corrupt, and it's unfair, and that's why if you actually had a harsher system it would be more fair. i want to play a little sanders for you. people credit him for being very clear about what he wants to do.

richard: it is very difficult. in terms of fixed income and debt, that market is driven by -- for interest rates, and credit risk. at the moment, both sides of that equation are highly volatile. it is very difficult for either valuefind or stability in that market. so looking to the credit market is qs is going to be -- cues going to be difficult. fundamentally, taking a step towards the stimulus package that it made its way through washington this week, it is probably the likely cause behind the three-day rally that we have seen. fundamentally, what we are considering, the stimulus package is more of a rescue deal. so this market goes both for fixed income and for equities. it will only really find its footing once the pandemic so thisreceives and we start se- recedes and we start seeing cases dropped. we have seen positive things for those countries around the world. the reality is that this is going to take time and there is no immediate fear to the markets providence. nejra: in the meantime, what about your sec

further contradicting this tale are the letters that richard harding davis sent home. he was very close to his mother, he kept in touch with his family by mail very often. his letters are kept in an archive at the university of virginia charleston. his letters to his family about this time offer no support for creelman's account about why remington left, that everything was quiet. none of his letters, none of davis's letters home suggested that davis wanted to leave on the pretext that everything was quiet in cuba. he gave somewhat related versions, three somewhat related versions as to why remington went home. one of those versions was that remington had obtained all of the material he needed for his sketches and decided to go. that message was contained in a letter that davis wrote and remington carried with him back to the states. remington presumably would've had an opportunity to read the letter. another related version that davis wrote was that remington went home at davis's request. he did not like working in pairs, he describes remington as a big, blundering be

richard: that is an essential question. ultimately, either because people have been infected by the vaccine and recovered, perhaps they were never seriously ill but they built up immunity because of it, or we develop a vaccine. to tell whether people have been ill and recovered, you either need to have taken them through a hospital period, or give them some side -- some type of blood test. that equipment is further behind than the testing was for determining whether people were subject to falling ill. that is a significant problem. the other thing i think we need to focus on long-term is vaccines. that will take a while, maybe a year to eight months at the current estimate. but either because we have developed vaccines or so many people have been effected and recovered that we have effectively a large portion of the population that is immune. romaine: what do we know about the infection rate in the u.s.? i am not clear how many tests have been done. i am not clear if the tests are proportional with what other countries have

i'm richard lui in new york at 30 rockefeller center. president trump says he is now considering a federally mandated quarantine of new york, new jersey, and connecticut. this has cases of the coronavirus in the united states still setting daily records as of this hour. across the country, more than 110,000 cases are confirmed. the virus has killed more than 1,900 people. the president is now weighing up whether to place new york and new jersey and connecticut areas on quarantine. >> i am now considering and will make a decision very quickly, very shortly. a quarantine, because it's such a hot area of new york, new jersey, and connecticut. we'll be announcing that one way or the other fairly soon. >> now, new york and new jersey governors, they're saying they were not aware of such plans that the president discussed. just hours ago, the usns comfort just set sail for new york city to provide 1,000 hospital beds to the tri-state area. covid-19 has claimed more lives in the city than homicides did all of last year. on the way to help, $2 b

and joining us now the daughter and granddaughter of the legendary ann richards, cecile richards, co-founder of the political group super majority, and president of planned parenthood, and her daughter lily adams is back with us. i can't tell you what it was like for me my first convention walking in there and seeing your mother's shining hair way up there on that podium and listening to a political speech unlike any i ever heard. she just held that entire place in her hand as you know. i'm sure you were there at the time. and ever since then the dream of the woman president has just been growing and growing and growing. and here we are tonight with as i've said before what bernie sanders describes as just the two old white guys left in the race. >> well, it's -- of course i remember that evening, that night. and of course lily was there. she was just a child like 1-year-old. but there were actually two other things that happened that night i think are appropriate for tonight, lawrence. one is of course mom was only the second woman to ever give a keynote speech at the democratic national co

richard? >> reporter: this was one of the strangest scenes you could imagine. american diplomats in business suits and badges sitting down with dozens of representatives from the taliban. an islamic fundamentalist group that wants a pure state, which hosted osama bin laden before 9/11 that is what diplomacy looks like this is a withdrawal agreement, the u.s. promised to pull out all american troops, about 13,000 of them currently, and nat troops over the next 14 months, in exchange, the taliban has to make sure that afghanistan is never again a sanctuary for international terrorist groups like isis and al qaeda. but critics say all the taliban needs to do is wait it out, and it gets the country back. jose >> richard engle, thank you. >>> to weather now, an astonishing video from upstate new york along lake erie, high wind and waves and freezing temperatures have put whole neighborhoods on ice near buffalo, homes frozen solid with razor sharp icicles almost reaching the ground and there's dangerous weather in western ireland as well. wind from a severe storm the

richard quest has got the details for us. richard, what are you learning? >> reporter: from monday the 23rd, the new york stock exchange has decided to close the trading floor. but, wolf, but, electronic trading will continue. so the market is not being closed. only the floor. the famous floor that you see every day where traders and brokers and designated market makers come together. the actual market will remain open. apparently there have been several cases of traders and people on the floor having been tested positive for the virus, and basically the exchange said the only way to realistically continue was to go to an all-electronic trade system. the first time it's happened, the market has been closed before, of course 9/11 being a major example. but this is the first time that the floor is being closed but trading will continue. they're very keen to express this, this is only the floor that's being shuttered temporarily. >> for practical purposes, for viewers watching, richard, they want to trade stocks starting monday, how does this impact them? >> r

richard galpin, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here. we will be having one of the uk government's regular news conferences shortly, but helen, we know from the prime minister today that there are worries about the extent to which people are observing social distancing. there does seem to be some confusion. we don't know if people are confused or not listening, but there does seem to be some element of people not observing the advice the government has been giving out on this idea of social distancing. what does that mean? trying to stay away physically from anyone you don't live within your household as much as possible. if you have to have face—to—face contact, stay two metres apart. that is the gist of it and it is what the government has been advising since last monday and that every single one of us should be doing, but we saw that wasn't necessarily happening, so we saw the government closing clubs, pubs and bars on friday, but we are seeing that shifting to outdoor spaces. we hea

i'll keep it there, thank you very much. >> thank you, richard. >> richard has just flown in from the philippine, he moves fast, his brain and his body. if you get quarantined, i have no doubt you'll be able to right a book in the 14 days or 28 days. >> i learn chinese. >> we're excited to have john lee from australia, before that he was the national security adviser, the senior national security adviser to australian foreign minister, julie bishop, prolific author, including released out of hudson around the chinese economy and what to do about it. john, i think we're going to stay seated for the rest of the panel. >> thank you, patrick, and it's great to be on this panel with colleagues and regional colleagues as well, and thank you dr. nigel inviting me to contribute in this publication. of course i'm no longer in government so i don't speak for the australian government. this is an australian giving an australian view but i do deal closely still with our government. these are my thoughts. i thought i would spend really five minutes speaking about some of the australian views and c

joining us now, richard quest. he's ready to answer your questions. so, richard, hard to underscore the economic fall out that's occurred because of this. >> absolutely. that 3.3 million number tells its own tale. it could get a great deal worse as this rolls across the country. i was looking at economic forecast. jpmorgan think unemployment will top out at 8.5%. we ended last year at 3.5%. oxford economics say it could be 10% unemployed. although this is horrific, you have to remember why it's happened. it's because the economy has been artificially paused. so, a lot of these jobs will come back when the economy gets going again. the issue of course is that the economy needs to stay paused while the virus dissipates and is got rid of. if the virus is allowed to incubate and continues and you were saying, sanjay, it's called the virus economy. the significance here is that the social distancing must be maintained. and even though the economic numbers may look dreadful bordering on disastrous, they will repair and recover quicker as a result of what's

richard goodstein, former advisor to bill and noted clinton. you know, brendan, i will start with you. right now, g.o.p. senator josh hawley said he will introduce a censure resolution over schumer's comments. let's watch that and i will get your reaction. >> the president has not threatened the safety of individual justices. it's one thing to disagree with opinions. i disagree with supreme court opinions. i've criticized supreme court justices for some of the rulin rulings. the use to criticize them by name. that's fine. that's not what schumer did. >> harris: brendan? >> i think that's absolutely right. there's nothing wrong with criticizing the court. people did all the time. barack obama famously did it to their faces in the state of the union address. that is far different than what chuck schumer did, he went way out-of-bounds. good for justice roberts for speaking out and defending the court. now, one of the things, i think why republicans know they have an advantage here, is one of the main arguments democrats have been trying to make is

president, so the whole group would include richard burr, the head of the intelligence committee, and it also would include senator kelly loeffler. so the question is whether or not they should be investigated for that behavior. >> it also includes dianne feinstein, the democrat. you didn't mention her name. why didn't you mention her name? i think she's an honorable person, by the way. you mention two people but don't mention one. >> any senators, should they be -- >> i don't know. i would have to look at it possibly.

i'm also very grateful dani pletka and richard fontaine have joined us. we couldn't have asked for better commentators giv given bh their intellectual interest in conservatism and their own practical contributions to making the domestic policy in the united states. dani pletka has had a long career on capitol hill where she worked in the senate foreign relations committee. w she's also written extensively on the u.s. foreign policy especially the middle east and appears widely on television and until recently was the senior vice president for foreign and domestic studies at aei where she continues on foreign and defense policy studies. richard fontaine has had a long career in public service and is now the chief executive officer of the center for new american security which i say with some is doing incredibly creative work on issues relating to national security. richard worked for many years as senator john mccain's foreign policy adviser and prior to that workwork for the state departmet national security council and also the senate foreign relations c

franklin delano roosevelt, richard nixon, the famous union leader jimmy hoffa, cher. the reasons why people warhead dresses in these particular ways vary. again how people would never think in this context would end up wearing a headdress. and through most of the country's history would seem like something that just made sense. when we talk about these representations surrounding americans throughout their lives, one of the most important ways is through movies and television. we have a section in this exhibition which really shows almost 100 years of these images, from 1935 movies

richard, thanks very much. richard galpin in delhi. and a reminder — you can keep up with the latest developments about the coronavirus outbreak, the symptoms to watch out for, how to guard against the virus — and what it means for you, on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news. now we will take a look at the rest of the day's main stories. the former us vice presidentjoe biden has continued his comeback in his campaign to become the democrats' candidate to take on donald trump in november's presidential election. the latest round of voting known as super tuesday sanoe biden win nine out of 14 states. sophie long reports from california. they call it super tuesday and it was a super—strong start to the night forjoe biden. the former vice—president entered this race as the clear front runner with it all to lose. less than two weeks ago, it looked like he might dojust that after a poor start to this primary season. but he is very much back in the running. primary report, we are very much alive! cheering. and m

richard painter, the chief white house ethics lawyer, was under president george w. bush. there are a whole load of problems here, richard, the first of which is that there is a law in place that actually says when members of congress sell a stock, all they have to do is report it, i think, within 30 days. it's called the stock act. so the rules that apply to guys like you and me don't even apply to members of the senate, but there's an ethical problem if they had inside information and traded on it. >> criminal insider trading. the insider trading laws do apply to the members of the house and the senate. so if they have -- would consider important in making an investment decision and they got that information from the government, for example, in a classified briefing, and they trade on that information, that is criminal. they go to jail for that just like everybody else. they aren't subject to the conflict of interest statutes that a lot of executive branch officials are, which is why they have the stock to begin with. they really shouldn't have these stocks in individual

for this problem the world has to work together or otherwise we're toast. >> richard engel, nbc news >> there is much more from richard in his special report "on assignment" sunday night at 10:00 eastern on msnbc. >>> we'll be back in 60 seconds i set out with a virus expert to explore the best ways to protect yourself, separating fact from fiction. >>> then the question we're all thinking about, how to stop touching your face >>> the numbers of people who have been infected by coronavirus can sound alarming but there are things we can all be doing now to protect ourselves as i learned during an afternoon with a leading figure in the fight against emerging diseases. joseph fair, a virologist and epidemiologist who has worked on the fron lines of the ebola outbreak in africa, believes facts may be our best defense against the coronavirus. let me ask you this, is covid-19 in the air? if i take a deep breathe, did i potentially take a deep breathe of the virus? >> especially not outside. we're sitting in front of nature's greatest disinfectant sunlight the uv light inactivates the virus

nothing is normal, richard. two hours from now, the governor is said all nonessential businesses must shut down and that includes new york city. we should sell you, new york city is once again ground zero. this time for coronavirus. hospitals here's in the city are sounding the alarm about a critical lack of personal protective equipment. and now they say they're limiting the test to only those who are hospitalized. 7100 have tested positive for the virus. one million masks are on the way to new york city. they cost about 80 cents and is now $4. he is price gouging. he said we need the mask and buying them. richard? >> thank you so much. let's head over to california. >> an interesting headline coming out of the "l.a. times." they were questioning whether they should focus on the data coming from testing because they can't get tests. they focus the energies towards other measures such as stay at home. >> yeah. this is pretty good evidence of people staying at home. this is similar to what she was saying. not a t
