Have Edward Lawrence and in washington. Reporter they are scheduled to talk about right now. They usually talk about an hour on these phone calls. There is very slim chance of getting a relief package to help americans by election day. President donald trump said this morning it is political. And House Speaker nancy pelosi does not want to help the economy because that would help the president win. His economic advisors say the House Speaker packed her package with a lot of stuff unrelated to the coronavirus. There is a number of political and idealogical points in that have nothing to do with covid and we dont want to go that direction. If it is targeted right, absolutely. It is not it is not going to work. Reporter even if a deal could be reached the president said he would go above 2. 2 trillion, still reaching republican senators for their vote might be a challenge. The president says he would lean on Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to get the votes. It might be a hard sell
Out just a tinge of that yellow to orange definitely nothing like the neon that much of a side yesterday and its kind of refreshing just to see something closer to normal because yesterday was just eerie across the region air quality not good we are seeing port a very poor conditions and even though it might smell fresh worst thing ash falling just look at your car you can see the ash thats fallen on it. Thats all you need to know to say hey i need to put some mask or Face Covering on just as weve gotten used to this year. Now why is it continuing to be so smoky. Well a couple days ago we saw those strong winds from the north that really put up some extra growth and wildfire such as the august and north complexes and any sort of smoke was pushed or write down our direction now winds have calmed down so that smoke that was pushing direction is staying with us yesterday as i mentioned it was a little higher up any sort of light that was pushed through blue light was reflected and all tha
That though hes going to pull from the 44000000000. 00 in federal funds that have been set aside for Natural Disaster relief while were in the middle of Hurricane Season or about to be where experts are now predicting over 2525. 00 named storms named storms out little ones name going are going to be hitting the Atlantic Coast i mean possibly the pacific this is not something you want to do plus states are going to chip in to as much as 100. 00 about 400. 00 as well and states are broke from fighting coves they are cash strapped already there are so many states florida being one of his favorites that has only paid out 2 percent of its Unemployment Benefits already i dont know how this is going to actually be helpful for states where does the money come it really is and at the end of the day weve got to get away from this executive order obsession because look the Bush Administration started the start of the obama ramped it up hugely in his administration and now trumps like clearly take
