there's great reporting by politico. we at the post reported a couple months ago that scott atlas was privately pushing herd immunity. it's worth noting that the white house publicly lied about it. they straight up lied. but there was something about this idea of herd immunity that was very appealing to donald trump because in his mind it meant that he sort of didn't have to really deal with and grapple with the problem. this is a president who as you've reported, we all talked about, wanted sort of a tweet cure, you know, to be able to say it would miraculously go away and have that be so and he believed herd immunity was the closest to solving the problems of the virus. the problem, of course, is that while on the howhole that the mortality rate is not that high for nonvulnerable populations, there are people, young athletes, you know, 30-year-old mothers of three who get the virus and die. that's why this theory was so dangerous and controversial. >> just to put a finer point on what ashley parker said, if donald trum

i'm the editor at large for healthcare politico. thank you for joining the discussion on closing the gap, latinos, healthcare and covid-19. the pandemic has shined a shocking glaring spotlight on health inequities of the united states. latinos, african-americans, native americans have been disproportionately second, hospitalized and killed by the coronavirus. and even before the pandemic, latinos faced huge obstacles getting healthcare. the highest uninsured rate of any racial or ethnic group in the united states. there's still a big gap. this morning i'm grateful to have with us this morning to talk about these things the california attorney general, nominee for secretary of health and human services. he served on the ways and means committee so he actually knows a lot of healthcare items. i use to run down the hallway shouting questions at him. he has done a lot of work on healthcare antitrust and other issues. we don't have a lot of time so we are going to just jump in. we all knew there were health disparities. you are married t

that is the latest reporting from politico. equity futures out to session highs on the s&p 500, and treasury yields climbing a little bit higher as well, as some confidence starts to build off the back of this reporting that potentially, we could have an agreement later this morning. tom: the path here is really important, going back to october, going from $2.1 trillion, president trump at $1.8 trillion, and then the shock the other day of $700 billion, and to me, the real reset other than getting the deal done is we are not at $700 billion. that is a big deal. jonathan: the two important factors here, one is the size of the potential deal. two is the fact that we might have had an agreement on putting and astate and local aid liability shield, and that would be real progress because that is not tom thing we heard yesterday. i understand that kevin cirilli joins us now from washington, d.c. great to catch up with you. the latest reporting, your read on things and where they stand. kevin: first and foremost, this is the optimism

a recent piece in "politico" tells the story. according to politico's account, the congressional black caucus is demanding that biden selected black secretary of defense. at a secretary of defense was good at defending america. a secretary of defense with the correct skin color. the feminist groups are mad about this, says politico. not mad because it would lead the country -- leave the country vulnerable. no, because they want a female secretary of defense. why do they want a female secretary of defense? because they are females. the secretary of defense should look like them because it's all about them, not about the pentagon or the country or the military threats we might face in the future. it is about identity, which is to say it's about narcissism. when i see people in power, i must see myself. that's the demand. and not just the demand of the pentagon. here's how box.com severed steven mnuchin.
