A listen. Of stealing. Great citizens of this country to a certain extent and to a large extent as warriors. There warriors we cant keep our country close we have to put our country. Warriors yes we are all of us we are soldiers and love fight in the great war against. Wages who exactly are we fighting or more importantly what exactly are we fighting for are we fighting the virus that threatens us are we fighting for the health and safety of our friends and loved ones well my friends the president answer those questions as well take it away donald i created with a lot of other very talented people and the people of our country the greatest economy in the history of the world the best numbers weve ever had the best markets i think we had 144 days of wreckage stock markets. And then one day they said we have to close our country and now its time to open it up. Yes my Friends America will be opening up soon not for the ideals of liberty and freedom definitely not for safety your health or its own but the greater good of wall street and the one percent and of course mr trumps impending reelection we cant forget that we are fighting for that too bad its why we are warriors well if you look at how america treats its soldiers and veterans i think the more apt word to use in this new war would be cannon fodder because of the g 8 here writes in the nation the botched Pandemic Response resembles americas failed wars in vietnam and iraq not just in that the 2 but in terms of been justice as those as with those wars there is no real shared sacrifice that is so very very true you see like always the poor and working class americans the nurses the m. T. A. Workers the meat packers theyll face the real wrath of this pandemic while the elite president bone spurs and nancy pelosi are super expensive ice cream they get to sit this one out and their yachts and mansions as they make their donors money off of your heart and sacrifices and putting your own butt on the line and i think that is why we are here today watching the hawks. In a city. You want to. See the crisis you always stay. Crazy see this least systemic deception is so which. So brings up as. Well ramona watching the i robot and im obese across you know maze of theyre using a lot of war language to describe americas response to this virus hear the president call us all warriors were warriors you know fighting to. But america is so wall street can make money then i think few people put forward a very interesting scenario in this of well if or if were going to use war language then we should start looking at people who failed the United States as war criminals people white people like you know the politicians who stand up and have allowed 70000 of us to buy i like it its a way of turning at the its a way of turning this whole thing on its head because what President Trump is trying to do is create this sense of patriotism among americans if youre fighting against aids in beitar if youre fighting against what some someone or something that is trying to destroy the United States theres a rally around the flag that comes with that and have Congress People having Congress People to stand up to showcase that this theres another side of that and to paint that picture as well i think is going to help many people to be able to wade through this dichotomy that the president himself set up because look no one is saying that we shouldnt be you know fighting for our rights and liberties and no one saying that we shouldnt be fighting and doing everything we can to stay healthy and safe as a country but this like couching it in order to maintain order with a spy you got to be good soldiers and sacrifice a few to the cause but whats the cause of all wall street but wall street only you know only 30 percent or so of americans actually have money in wall street that doesnt represent the whole the economy is not america i know its a popular thing to say but capitalism isnt what made this country great absolutely and wall street doesnt care about the death toll and you know and weve seen that there is no theres no you know remorse from them as it relates to the thousands of americans who potentially lives are at stake right now and will be if we open up without having the precautions necessary we know that we dont have a vaccine thats probably years out actually we know that we are able to Contact Trace were not able to do it effectively and there are many states that are trying to create their own Contact Tracing teams but even thats going to take a while and its a long time before were out of the dark on this but you know you know who is d also i would include in the you know. 19 pontificating on who considered a war criminal your people profit off of the hurt and sorrow of others United Airlines announced that they would be cutting 15000 airport staff and baggage handlers hours from 40 to 30 hours a week this comes after the u. S. Treasury gave United Airlines part of the corona coronavirus aid relief and Economic Security or carriers always love those names. They gave the airline 5000000000. 00 of us tax dollars but now suddenly theyre cutting down hours of their staff. And they can get away with it because the conditions for accepting federal support stated that airlines have to retain their staff at the same pay rates but didnt mention how many hours they could work being go and you know the private sector is very shrill when it comes to things like this and they know that they cant let those individuals go because they will be a buy a lation of the terms of the money that they agreed to get however they can reduce these hours and everything is extremely fine there is no Penalty Associated with that at all does it hurt the employees absolutely but this is something that we should have seen coming it should have actually been a part of aig there shouldve been a clause in there that eliminated that being a practice as well because weve seen this time and time again if you tell someone that they cant fire people they wont do it however they will put them in a very stimulus position but we will never see those causes why because of lobbyists and guess who is next on the docket to steal taxpayer money during the covert pandemic leaf airing of the intercept is now reporting that here on k. Street in washington d. C. Lobbyists have stepped up a campaign to make sure professional influence peddlers are eligible for taxpayer funds the push also includes a demand for an additional 25000000000. 00 for canceled events and other laws revenue from the coronavirus camp pandemic yes my friends now lobbyists want our tax dollars the same ones that they steal from us for whoevers paying them i mean its just getting a dig we have to bail out lobby. No i love the term professional influence peddler in that is that the what they are doing a lobbyist will always find a way to crawl from under some rock and take money it doesnt matter what situation it is they will find that way they have been part and parcel of creating a lot of the legislation that has hurt people civically those in times of trouble specifically those when it came to trying to get money to you know get Affordable Housing and things like that lobbyists have not been the friends of the American Public who are an extremely long time and right now they found just another way where they end up with money in their pockets while everyone else is struggling and so the great great great lets bail them out today theyre not able to you know influence washington to have those big luxurious parties where they can whine and died and say hey vote for this bill because it helps all of this small little sector of the population ill leave it with this just to get your reaction to this according to the Washington Post caterpillar Stanley Black and decker pretty household names levi strauss the jeans maker Office FurnitureCompany Steelcase and yes the World Wrestling entertainment have paid out a combined 700000000 in cash dividends to shareholders while at the same time shattering operations and laying off employees during this covert 19 pandemic that says a lot that theyre paying off shareholders weve been laying people will. Follow the money. People are eager to go back to normal whatever that is 19 drastically changed the way we do business and manage our daily lives everything from church and shopping to school and the way we work has been up ended and not everyone is happy for weeks now parents have been pseudo homeschooling their kids as primary secondary and collegiate schools are shut down though they are doing their level best the stress of being a working parent and a 1000000000 teacher is taking its course Remote Learning was supposed to be the answer but its wrought with problems like Steve Schmidt in a classroom engagement can be my. Teachers can adjust and bring flair and excitement to the coursework Student Learning styles can be adapted to but those far remote learners havent seen these types of opportunities through learning the other big issue is one of access low income and minority students tend to fare worse in Remote Learning environments these students dont have a hard time because of education with pension deficiencies but because of barriers like a lack of personal computer wife by yes in 2020 the Digital Divide is widening the push to get kids back in the classroom is being led by districts across america with educators fearful that more time out who was all in a brain drain and students falling behind but not everyone is suffering from the pandemic changes in fact more employers are considering making permanent work from home positions yeah its a covert 94 c. E. O. To learn that folks can be productive without sitting in a Traditional Office space or being micromanaged shocker. Nationwide the insurance giant recently announced a work model allowing the majority of their locations to continue working from home this move also saves businesses and corporations big bucks as they pull out of rural contracts and say goodbye to high rise buildings the move will spell trouble for commercial real estate but flexibility savings and transportation costs and more peace of mind for workers this is one of the most interesting kind of contrasts to come out of what weve been dealing with over the last few months is a. Big businesses are realizing that like you said brilliantly the people can work from home and they can be productive in their work just as hard as whether theyre in a cubicle or kitchen kitchen counter. But then also see the contrast of them education falling off you know that the Remote Learning is just failing miserably where you know what you know what is it about the current design of Remote Learning groups thats not working with the experience was with a few things the current design of Remote Learning didnt take into consideration to. The largest groups of students one being those students who have special needs and special education coursework those students are going to require a lot more on the on the front end when it comes to different adaptations for their learning be it whether they are whether they have more more teachers more Information Available to them how many times a day are they possibly logging in are they getting the are they getting the appropriate types of instructional materials things like that in addition to education as a 2nd language learners those learners for the most part many districts were already having some issues in the classroom themselves because you didnt have enough teachers to facilitate what was facilitate things that would meet their needs thats also not happening online in addition to that there is no way of monitoring how long these students are spending on any given assignment or online and the parents themselves arent necessarily trained in monitoring or being able to answer several of the questions you and i talked about this earlier specifically when it comes to math and common core neither one of us were doing common core math. And a recent study showed that even harvard graduates cannot do common core math these are some of the most brilliant students and Brilliant Minds in the country they cant figure it out either so the expectation that a parent who is a working parent is also able to sit down and do this with their children when it wasnt something they functionally did at all or had to do is also causing it i could imagine. That you brought to the Digital Divide the you know we a lot of people take for granted that everyone has access to the internet but the Digital Divide is a major important piece of why whats the trouble with Remote Learning and why its not quite working right now exactly and it was hers across rule and urban areas so we take into consideration those who are from low income households but in addition to that a lot of students who are minority students and students who live in areas that just did not have access to internet or dont have a laptop at home i think that because were in the era of 2020 and because so many people have social media. Have social media at the moment there is a notion that there isnt a Digital Divide right now we have over 800000 households in metropolitan new york alone that dont have access while were talking about new york city if were move down to places like kansas nebraska go to mississippi you have whole swaths of the state where there is no Internet Access there are schools that dont have Internet Access and themselves the kind of mixed together makes that argument you know the we need that should be a public utility like somehow you know make it safer for the government just cant Read Everything that we do want to i dont want that but at the end of the day the internet the internet x. X. Or should be treated like electricity at this point no no i absolutely agree and its something that i know that there are different corporations that are working towards trying to make that happen this should have speeded it up a bit but we havent seen it all right or everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man do the brother portable t.

Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics business im showbusiness ill see you then. All right welcome back as we cross over the middle of the week and head towards the weekend with new stories breaking left right and center we thought it was important to bring you some added perspective on 2 of the biggest news stories of the spring the mainstream Corporate Media has barely given any kind of indepth coverage to at least until recently sort of. The 1st of course has been the accusations of Sexual Assault misconduct made by a former Us Senate Aide tara reid against the current democratic nominee for president former Vice President joe biden for months not only of the Mainstream Media of Major Political figures conveniently ignored reids claims but in many cases outright get out right attacked her or marginalized her for making them in the 1st place but on monday of this week i on a presley the massachusetts democrat are currently elected to the u. S. House of representatives penned a blog post on medium declaring quote we are in the throes of an election of the greatest consequence i reject the false choice that my party and our nominee cant address the allegations at hand and defeat the occupant of the white house the 2nd story that has not seen its fair share of proper coverage an indepth analysis has clearly been the rise of nationwide protests calling for rent strikes and mortgage relief started just before april and they mal again considerable stream as we head into the middle of may and into june both these stories deserve time in the news media spotlight because both will have an effect on your foreseeable future one concerns your home the other your next potential potential president but since these stories deal with dark and uncomfortable truths about the American Experience most professional journalists an
