California Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss California surpassing the "grim milestone" of one million coronavirus cases, and speculation surrounding who will fill Kamala Harris' soon to be vacant Senate seat. Rep. Lee says that "it would be an honor to serve" when asked about her name being in the mix and notes that there would be a "void" in perspective without a Black woman in the Senate, though she defers to Governor's Newsom to make the "best decision."

  1. Wake up cali . They sent 50 people from my company across the country to LA to work while they keep yall locked down

  2. We need national testing and quarantine for those affected, and contract tracing, and testing those people too.

  3. The Very People Who Have Intenseually Spread Covid ,Are The Very Ones Who Claim Their Protecting You From it .

  4. I live in San Francisco, a city of 900,000 people. We have had 153 deaths from the corona. And, incidentally, we’ve been wearing masks from day 1. This is not that hard to figure out, people.
    Unless you’re still getting your medical advice from the Commander in Bleach, that is. 😂🤣

  5. Californians has been coming here in Las Vegas. Their tired of the restrictions. Even for a few days just to live normal.

  6. Did you know that Moscow Mitch, Mitch McConnell is often referred to as “The Grim Reaper” as well as “The Turtle.” Ever wonder why he got all these nicknames?

    1. He likes the name Grim Reaper.
      He hates the name Moscow Mitch. Small of me, but I always try to use Moscow Mitch.

    1. The phase 2 and phase 3 to reopen the Country was the failure. Trump never provided the leadership nor the Senate provide the funds to make it happen. Listen to Trump, not the Scientists

  7. TRUMP “ it was a perfect presidency, nothing wrong with it, absolutely perfect, best presidency in American history “

  8. They have a vaccine that works so now this is called genocide . They are going to let 200000 of us die before they give it out bec it is about money and politics. They want us dead . This is now scheduled murder or a population cull .

  9. Let’s talk. As celebrations take place around the world not just for a new American President but for democracy itself, the US has passed a grim milestone –163,000 COVID-19 infections a day. For many months some Americans have resisted wearing protective masks because they, “Take away freedom.” Is this really about taking away freedoms or something else? We are a county founded on the compassionate rule of law. We have seatbelt laws and second-hand smoke laws. These are just two small examples of laws enacted to protect us when we cannot protect ourselves and each other. When functioning properly our representatives in government have the ability, as defined by constitutions, charters, etc., to do those things we cannot do all by ourselves. This may include building highways, providing K-12 education and let’s not forget protecting us from deadly forest fires, hurricanes, etc. Governors, legislators and judges from the three branches of government, in addition to the media, are working as best as they can, as quickly as they can and with the best available public health information to keep all of us safe; individually we do not have the collective expertise, human and financial resources to manage these challenges. If they need to do this legally by decree, executive order or other provisions allowed them during emergencies then they are doing their jobs.
    Although most people are doing the best they can to save lives there are some powerful few who are literally killing people. Take Trump and his super spreader events. A Stanford University study found his rallies have killed 700 people and infected 30,000. Columbia University published a study recently on how 130,000-210,000 lives could have been saved if this administration and his political devotees had not politicized a pandemic that has infected over 53 million and killed 1,300,000 world-wide – so far. (Approximately 40% of the infected are asymptomatic and never know they may be spreading COVID according to the CDC.) The good news is that by taking basic precautions the University of Washington projects we can save over 130,000 lives by February 1, 2021. Remember, this virus is about 8X deadlier than last year’s flu and the third leading cause of death in the US only behind heart disease and cancer. Please fact-check all of this information yourself. Facing the truth is empowering, freeing. The sooner the more people accept reality, the sooner we can recover together as a country – grieve those we have loved and lost – and collectively address other urgent concerns.
    One last thing – we are fortunate. Do the people complaining about wearing a mask really have no idea what is a true loss of freedom? Have we learned nothing from history: slavery, disenfranchisement, imprisonment in jails, ghettos and concentration camps, inscription into armies, forced marriage, starvation… Over 85,000 children in Yemen have died since 2018 directly because of US foreign policy. Currently, millions more Yemen children are starving but we can still save them by providing immediate emergency assistance with our International allies. We just have to care enough about their freedom, their literal right to life. I’d like to believe we are capable of understanding false equivalences. There is no comparing facial coverings and the right to life, freedom from extreme suffering. This may not be what we have expected but it is nothing new, not really. And we each have superpowers – our infinite capacity for creative adaptation and a little thing called love. – Please feel free to share this post. Take care, stay safe out there and thank you.

  10. Here is what I do not understand. What has happened to Common Sense?
    For example if you were feeling sick and went to your doctors and you had a bad cold and he gave you some medication told you to go home and stay home from work for 5 days and just rest cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands you would do it am I right or am I wrong? This cold bed is a invisible enemy that we know very little about and we do not have anything that can fight the side effects of this virus that’s why they are pushing a vaccine however until then why do we throw Common Sense out the door wearing a mask is part of Common Sense. the government is not telling you what you can or cannot do in that space they want you to keep from the person in front of you consider it your personal space you own that space and you’re only going to invite people in that space that you know are safe that’s what they’re telling you anyway

  11. You have harris and Pelosi running California ask them and stop saying that Trump is the problem shame on you
