Summary

President Trump announced this week that FEMA is now in charge of fighting the coronavirus pandemic. The president activated the agency at a level 1 response. Former FEMA administrator Brock Long explains what a level 1 response is, how his experience with handling U.S. disaster responses will help, and what steps need to be done to better prepare our country for crises like Covid-19. While members of Congress try to work out a new way to help Americans hit hard financially by the coronavirus, some are forced to self-quarantine at home. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) has isolated himself in his Washington D.C. apartment after learning he came in contact with someone infected with COVID19. Sen. Gardner joins the Rundown to discuss his self-quarantine, coronavirus financial relief and how the impeachment of President Trump distracted Americans from the outbreak. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox Across America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
