And President Trump and Vice President pence putting the fullcourt press on those two Georgia Senate runoffs, the nypd says shooting and murder are soaring in a new push by some on the left to defend the police. Plus tensions rising on the border as a Trump Administration races to build as much portable as possible and while it still cant come im Jackie Deangelis and for elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. While President Biden is filling key positions, he is reportedly feeling heavy pressure from progressives when it is in a party. Joining an outright 2020 Advisory Board member harmeet dhillon, great to see you tonight, lets start with whats happening, biden was speaking today and a reporter questioned him about this and basically saying there was not enough diversity in his cabinet and not enough black people in his cabinet. Your thoughts . Yes, i agree that the criticism from the left, there is talk about diversity, talk about women, quotas and various regards but also policy criticism when you see people like neera tanden who has been put forward an accused of adding a Sexual Harassment victim and other people who are viewed of to close to the establishment of the left. Its an interesting criticism because democrats chose to nominate joe biden and put their support behind him, he has always been the establishment and been supported by big banking and wall street and he represented the interests of the credit card industry against consumers while in the senate. I think that they got what they paid for and not to expect that he will pivot to the far left, i think the whole staffing rampup that you are seeing shows that the progressives while they make a lot of noise, they dont necessarily have the punching power to get the far left people into the biden cabinet. Jackie thats a really interesting point, those folks who said you will elect joe biden, he will give you a bill of goods winnie standing on the podium and trying to get your vote but he may not do exactly what everybody thinks hes going to do. Hitoday there was diversity ande wasnt going to front run any announcement and he stood firm on that. If you look at his Vice President ial pick, kamala harr harris, she checks boxes of diversity, if you look at her performance as a senator and before that the attorney general of california where i litigated against her office in a civil rights case, she too is far from progressive interactions in those offices while at the same time taking progressive positions in the senate. She seems to be all over the place to what is required and the two Critical Senate races in georgia are really going to determine a lot of our next four years, if you have a joe biden, kamala harris, they will not be able to get extreme policy positions through no matter what the house pushes without having a majority in the senate. That is really critical. In short, you dont know where theyre going to go, i dont think either of these people have essential philosophical core, its really what their donors are saying and what the establishment is saying to them and if the establishment gets hijacked by the aoc wing of the party, that is the tune they will be singing because they dont have a moral philosophical core and adopt the powerplay from happening. Jackie the tagline from the Democratic Party in Joe Biden Kamala harris is unity but it seems like its a false image of unity when you have so many people trying to grab for power. That is right, this happens in any Administration Transition in the trump 2017 transition use of various factions of the conservative movement trying to get the people in here, war hawks and people who are neocons in the Heritage Foundation people in all those different people thought for power ultimately it was large establishment people who staff the administration, this is usually how it turns out, im yet to think of almost back to Ronald Reagan where we did have fresh thinking coming in really truly new thinking in the Republican Party, i think the lot time you saw a radical change in a transition a administration within a party. Jackie you brought up aoc before inches making headlines once again talking about the fact attacking the republicans essentially and say they dont really understand what its like to do hard labor kind of jobs, to not have Healthcare Benefits and she went on about how she is a person that was a waitress and she knows what its like to walk away from the table and cry because the customer is yelling at you and a lot of people on the right were feeling a sense of outrage saying themselves that is not true. Hud secretary ben carsons press secretary hit back and said she was a waitress for five years when she was working in college and she knows exactly what it feels like to be yelled at by the customer. Attacking in this way and try to put people down and saying you dont know what its like when actually as americans we do have a lot of common experiences, that really doesnt help now does it . I think what shes talking to, the conservative establishment figures and possibly some of her colleagues in congress have mocked her for her background as it is not a preparation for being a member of congress. I disagree with that, shes absolutely right if we had more republicans who had bluecollar background it would be a better party and as a result the recent election, are parties voter base is trumpeted that direction, we need to be respectful of that, a lot of the women were media figures and not elected officials and most of our elected officials in both parties are from the elites of society. Their millionaires, multimillionaires, people of privilege, elizabeth warren, professor at harvard, lawyers, they are not bluecollar workers, i would love to see more in both parties. Jackie thats a fair point. Final question, you do have congressman Kevin Mccarthy from california trying to bring people together with some of the folks who are on the fringes from the Freedom Caucus and you actually think this is a positive sign, explain that to me. I would not agree that the Freedom Caucus is a friend of the party at the growing base of the libertarian wing of the party that believes left government is better for us. Politics is a game of edition and if you want to be elected and secure your position of a leader and a 2022 Republican Congress you must have support from the Freedom Caucus, it is influential, growing and if there is an antiwar element that is growing among young people in our party and so he needs that base and anybody whos going to be the leader needs that base. Its smart for leader mccarthy to do exactly what hes doing and it really speaks to his skills in legislative infighti infighting. Jackie great to see you tonight. Thank you. Coming up, we will hear from to california Business Owners fuming from so Many Companies buckling under Strict Lockdown majors.

Jackie critics of covid19 lockdown are saying tight restrictions largely have been iin and effective in containing the virus and the toll is piling up leaving many small Business Owners nationwide under siege and in financial ruin. Joining me not to Business Owners from long beach, california who have been impacted by the lockdown and taken a stand against it. Welcome to trent and ryan, trent i want to start with you were not just talking about Small Businesses, we are talking about restaurants as well, literally the backbone of america and according to yelp i was reporting today that 60 have closed for good as a result of the pandemic, the science that the democrats say we should be following does not necessarily show that walking into a store or sitting in a restaurant is increasing your trances of spreading in the highest numbers more than 14 million cases in the United States with Strict Lockdown. I think its really frustrating for people to watch specifically in l. A. County, the supervisor to shut down outward dining and the next night she is out eating Outdoor Dining, these politicians have all this data at their fingertips, why are they not afraid and being so hypocritical, there shutting down the Small Businesses but living their life as if nothing is happening, there is a disconnect in there is a distrust with a Small Businesses that pour their heart and soul into the companies and getting shut down with no opportunity to do anything about it. Jackie ryan, theyve not just follow the rules of lockdown and stricter rules for the example in california with gavin newsom, theyve actually invested in trying to do the right thing, young nice weather out there, people can sit outside and they have put up plexiglass, they invested in outdoor furniture, they have tables on the sidewalks and theyre not allowed to do business. The average restaurant probably spent 5 15000 in building their Outdoor Dining space so they had an added expense, then to reduce their capacity so theyre trying to stay alive and you see each city instead of having these spaces built out where people are enjoying, their bank it in empty and it really looks sad. There was a new study from usc that said the economic toll post pandemic over the course of two years could be almost 5 trillion, i think the Trump Administration tried in its own way to understand what the health needs are and what the economy needs and to strike a little bit of a balance. When it comes to the police state and to the democrats, we will see what president elect joe biden is going to do, are they really understanding what the impact of this is going to be . No i think thats one of the hardest things on both sides of the aisle we are seeing locally everybody listening to just the Health Department nobodys listening to the economic development, and california eight years ago they created a Pandemic Response and it took an approach from both sides, it totally disregarded if youre one of the fifth largest in the world and the only thing you can come up with is a color scheme, that is sad in disproportionately hurting small Business Owners innocent servers and the cooks in the host have no idea how theyre going to feed their family for christmas, there is something they miss there, anytime you make a decision you need to take both sides and our politicians are so onesided theyre not thinking in making hard decisions like whats best for everybody. Thats why we created the accountability and march this past wednesday and we want to elect appointed officials held accountable for the policies in which they are utilizing these businesses. Jackie one final question, here in new york there definitely had been some Restaurant Owners and small Business Owners taking a stand and saying we will not close, we cannot close, were following the rules and doing it safely and others have supported them in peaceful protest saying this is america, this is a land of liberty, we have the right to work and put food on the table. How do you tell people even amidst the pandemic that that is not there right. I think it is tough in long beach specifically theyve leverage the Health Department more like the gestapo, theyre going out and handing out fines to small gyms and restaurants, i was at a restaurant that had ten Health Department employees, think about how inefficient that Department Must be to have ten people walk into one restaurant, it is a joke. We hope by doing what were doing that we inspire entrepreneurs and restaurants and Retail Stores to stand up. I think people have been so scared and were empathetic and we wanted to be safe and responsible and we dont want to take covid lightly but we also want to see people especially our elected officials be fair and responsible with their policies.
