Hello from Washington, Florida.

I'm chocolate Arlington.

I'm checked out and this is the Chuck Sidecast.

As of the time we recorded this podcast, nearly 13,000 Americans have died of coronavirus

in this country and as our culture has evolved to try and fight the virus, the political

narratives have evolved as well.

The question is, is the president evolved with it?

To two people who keep a close eye on all the moves inside the West Wing, Phil Rucker,

White House Bureau Chief for the Washington Post and Shannon Petitese, Senior White House

reporter for NBC News Digital.

And later, we're going to take a look into the crystal ball to answer what is the new

normal for the world after COVID-19, global political scientist and president of Eurasia

Group Ian Premor, which I'm meeting discussed.

How this will affect everything from authoritarian regimes to America's role in the world.

But first, the White House response to the coronavirus, Shannon and Phil, welcome to the

back to the podcast.

And I think I'm going to ask you the question that I get asked every day, some former another

and you may know what it is because I'm sure you both get asked the same question, which

is what is it with the president at these briefings?

And why do you people in the media keep covering it?

Since the you people is we people.

Shannon, I'll start with you.
