I'm doing better than I deserve good to see Anderson. I hope you had a good weekend and

0:05.2

welcome to everybody here in the new age of rebirth and renewal after Easter. I am Chris

0:11.3

Formo and welcome to prime time. The president can try to rewrite history. He can try to cover up and

0:19.4

do what he does best, which is cover his own flank. But all Americans want to know, all we must

0:26.8

demand to know is how the hell is he going to get us out of this. Saying time to reopen

0:35.6

is not enough when 23,000 lay dead. More than half a million of us are sick. You know I have it.

0:46.0

I'm fighting through it. Most of us are fighting through it. But how can we expect it to go through

You know, as such is the story of the coronavirus that as we finally seem to start being coming together

2:14.4

in big collectives and in quiet areas and staying at home, we see the curves starting to flatten.
