unlike the democratic convention where they're considering a virtual convention, it's been ronna mcdaniel has said publicly that the rules of the rnc don't allow her to hold a full virtual convention. so there has to be some in-person element, but there are some talks behind the scenes about maybe a scaled back version of that. one thing surprising in that report you just showed is that president trump himself has mused why can't we just hold this thing in a ballroom in florida where the state is closer to opening up? why can't we just move it there? it's unlikely to move from charlotte unless the mayor and the governor agree, but it's kind of counter to what you'd think trump would want, a huge show. he's kind of said, let's just do it in a state that i need and like. >> imagine that. hey, jonathan lemire, we've got -- we're bumping right up against 40 million unemployed, again that we know of, people who have filed as a result of losing their job. i saw the banner behind the president today in michigan. this is going to make a transition to greatness more difficult, is it not? >> brian,
