Friends weekday. Lots of news to get to but great to see you both. Brian fresh off 8 hours on saturday and sunday. Should be a walk in the park for urges jed. Note to stuff, check the weather before you leave your moon roof open at the train station. Its going to be a wet return home this afternoon. I digress. Steve so you are telling us you left the moon roof open . Brian what could happen . Steve brian, you have a wife and three children at home. Call them and hey you know the spare set of keys. Drive oer to the train station and close daddys roof . Brian its a little early i dont know if you noticed. They wont come to the phone. Steve text them, snapchat them. Thank you for joining us on this monday. As jed just said it is a busy start to the workweek. We start with a fox news alert. Struck two two of americas biggest cities this weekend as shootings continue to surge across our nation. A crime wave of sorts. In chicago the times reports at least 63 people were shot and 13 killed. Among the victims a 15yearold boy who was shot at 4 50 on friday afternoon. This marks the fourth straight weekend packed with violence in the second city, jed. Jedediah in new york city, the New York Post reports there were 15 shootings in 15 hours. Violent clashes also breaking out between propolice and black lives matter protesters. Demonstrators surrounding an nypd officer and throwing an egg at him. Brian unbelievable. Rioters also setting a garbage can on fire ordering clear the area. Two people reportedly arrested at that time. Meanwhile, this is the most predictable problem that we have in america when you disrespect Law Enforcement. When you say that theyre the problem. When you say you are going to defund them. When you say you are going to repurpose funds, they do this thing called im retiring. Maybe im going to pull back a little. Maybe im a little concerned about losing everything that i have worked for, including being sued because they are not even guaranteeing me immunity. The New York PostEditorial Board wrote an h editorial basically saying the same thing. Here is the headline or some of it. Soaring disrespect for cops means the most trouble for the most vulnerable new yorkers. The most vulnerable need the most policing. When the Police Officers arent there, those people who are lawabiding citizen pay the price. Steve the article in todays New York Post can you find it New York Post. Com says, in part, the main price for this widespread rise in disorder falls firmly on residents in the citys poorest neighborhoods. The lawabiding majorities in those areas dont deserve. This but the politicians are afraid to stand up to the loud unruly few. And any Police Officer who tries to do right is acting at his or her risk. And what this article talks about, and it starts with what we have now seen from july the 1st in that video where there is a scuffle, a crowd, an unruly crowd and a Police Officer is put in a head lock. And the editorial asks what if and this is probably some of it right there. What if an officer put a civilian in a head lock and sas mayor de blasio this week with l. Sign a City Council Bill to make police criminally liable not just using head locks but any that restricts a diaphragm. Stay completely hands off. Dont make arrests, jed, if an angry crowd interferes, just step back or it could cost you your life or your job. Jedediah steve, you mentioned politics being afraid to stand up. Bill de blasio was busy painting a black lives matter muller next to trump tower. Thats what he is doing with his time as shootings are surging particularly poor neighborhoods in brooklyn and the bronx. Its not just Police Officers. I have been talking to transit workers, people who man the subways and the buses. They are afraid, too. You see violence surging in those areas as well. Less Police Officers on the street. Police are retiring. They know if they have an emergency, its going to take longer for police to get to the scene. This defund the Police Movement is insane. Youre going to see people fleeing these cities. They are not going to want to keep their families, their businesses there. Steve they are moving now. Justified jed any area without police, that doesnt mean that the crime goes down. That means that the crime goes up. Anyone with a thinking head is going to be able to put two and two together and get out of those city us. Brian if you want Law Enforcement reform or bring it to the challenges of 2020 people are on the same page. Keep in mind, both republicans and democrats were close to passing Law Enforcement enhancement and reform and they agreed on 70 of all aspects of this. They are going to have Law Enforcement at the table and talk about extending the academy and different challenges they have and try to make things better. Now its blue against everybody else. And they feel as though they dont need to deal with this anymore. A lot of them throwing in the towel. Keep in mind in new york, they had a plan, they were going to and back pedal off their plan. Community leaders and Community OrganizersWalking Around with Police Officers to make sure they are doing a good job. Because you know if someone is in the community theyre qualified to supervise and observe or evaluate a Police Officer. He is, the brilliant mayor has put that on hold for now. Also that whole thing of having social workers and. Steve coresponders. Brian whether you have a dispute, when you have to go to a broken home, social workers ask for cops to come with them. They have had their job enhanced because of safety. Now you want them to go in first. Daniel odom says politicians need to put themselves in Law Enforcement shoes. I recommended that the political leaders do some ride alongs. They go out there on the streets and they ride along with the Police Officers and see what is actually happening and then if they want to intervene, let them intervene and see what it is like to be on the front line of putting your lives on the line and then not having the back end to do something. Brian the end of this we could do three hours on, this is that i like to know where joe biden stands and all the people that are going to work for him if he wins because i know where the president stands. Is he not for this. Democratic cities when asked. I will sit there and give you the military. I will give you national guard. Call it in to create some law and order in your town, in your city. In chicago. In minneapolis, in seattle, in new york. They say we got. This you dont have. This so i need to know where joe biden stands on this because i think America Needs to know what it looks like if he wins in november and staying in his basement and not answer something not okay. Steve you know when senator tim scotts bill failed in congress. He was on the program the next day and he said the democrats would not sign on board because they wanted to make this an election issue for november. And it surely is seems to many it is binary choice. One side is for one thing and the other side seems to be for something else. Meanwhile, lets talk a little bit about the pandemic. Covid cases 3 million here in the United States. A terrible number. 135,000 americans so far have died from covid related illnesses. Betsy devos who is the secretary of education was on fox news sunday, and she said she intends for the kids to be class in fall. Its not a matter of if, fully functioning means that kids can be back there and for families that need their kids in school and personal five days a week nothing in the data that suggest that kids being in school is in any way dangerous done so successfully and safely. Promise to students and their families. If schools arent going to reopen and not fulfill that promise, they shouldnt get the funds. Then give it to the families to decide to go to a school that is going to meet that promise. Steve so its all about school choice, really. During ordinary times it would be do you want to send your child to a Public School or a private school. Now what she is suggesting is send your child to a private school, like one of the parochial schools that will be open. Its interesting in fairfax county, virginia, just outside of washington, d. C. They are trying to figure out how to do it. All they have come up so far is the kids will be able to be in class two days a week, which means the parents have to scram to be find child care for three days a week. But you talk to the administrators and they say look, we are following the centers for Disease Control suggestions and we figured out how to place the kids 6 feet apart. But the problem is, jed, we dont have enough room to actually do what the cdc is requiring with a School District of 188,000 kids. They say they would need space in schools essentially equivalent to five pentagons. Jedediah yeah, i have taught in schools with classrooms as small as two, as large as 42. I can tell new most schools you are not going to be able to do. This you are not going to be able to manage hallways and keep kids 6 feet apart and desks 6 feet apart when you are talking about little kids not sharing toys and books. Teachers are not going to be able to get to the curriculum. Thats going to be a reality. We have to figure out what is requesting to be safe. Betsy devos didnt say follow the centers for Disease Control guidelines. Trump administration coming out with their own set of guidelines. We have to figure this out for the safety of teachers and kids and make sure you dont want kids going to school and teachers just managing masks and managing germs all day. They are supposed to be teaching the curriculum. We have to figure out a way to make that happen. I dont know what that is today. I looked through these centers for Disease Control guidelines im telling you as a former teacher, most of these are not realistically possible. Brian if i were lucky enough to have schools close in your area because of declining enrollment, begin to take their own class because they have smaller class sizes and they fan out. I was heartened to see that scott gottlieb, often a credited tiskt administration but often valued in the wall street journal today says schools can open safely. The New York Times says schools should open as well. I see this country called norway and belgium and another country of called netherlands and germany. They are all doing it. Get your educators over thrrntion find out what theyre doing and what works. They also have those brackets that go around that arent that expensive it, doesnt seem that go around each desk that provides a bit of a barrier and helps kid study the in long run, too i would imagine, if it could happen. If your mind set is im going to make it work, you will make it work. If your mind set is let somebody else figure it out, it will be a disaster mile. Hope is that teachers are so enterprising the ones that pull money out of their pocket on a daily basidaily basis make clask great. If you put those teachers in charge they will make it happen. Steve brian, opening the schools has become political just as Law Enforcement has. Brian dont let it. Steve you know what . We had with us toward the end of last week the ceo of goya foods. The largest hispanic Food Processor in the United States of canned vegetables and things like that. He had been at the white house the day before. And he had gotten such backlash because he showed up and there he is right there with the president. On thursday. He came on the program on friday morning and made it very clear, i dont understand where the backlash is coming from. There is a double standard. I went to the white house with the obamas, no problem. I go for trump, and look where i am. Heres bob the goya ceo. Its suppression of speech. In 20128 years ago i was called by Michelle Obama who wanted to approach the africanamerican community. Hispanic community to eat more nutritionally. I went to the white house later and i introduced hispanic heritage month. President obama. And so you are allowed to talk good or to praise one president but you are not allowed, when i was called to be part of this commission to aid in economic and educational prosperity and you make positive comment, all of a sudden thats not acceptable. So, you know, im not apologizing for saying, especially if you are called by the president of the United States, you are going to say no, im sorry, im busy, no thank you. I didnt say that to the obamas and i didnt say that to President Trump. Steve a bit of a double standard right there. Jed, whats interesting is after he appeared at the white house some people from the political left including aoc called for a boycott of goya foods but now there is a radio show host who started a buycott and encourages people to buy more goya products. And if you are not going to use them go ahead and donate them to a food shelter. Jedediah yeah, people will. People will buy a lot of goya products. Because its so ridiculous are we so fragile as a society now that you cant buy a product from someone from a ceo of a company who disagrees with you on on something . Do you know how many products i buy every day where they are come ceos who disagree with me. Can you do what you want buy or not buy in america. Really so smallminded the second someone says something that you disagree with even someone like this who is nonpartisan who has been to the white house like you said, steve, with the obamas who would go with any president. Answered believed he could make a difference in a certain arena. But you cant buy that product because he said something nice about President Trump . Its absurd and reflection on us as a society and how weak minded we have become. Shame on aoc, come on, this is ridiculous. Brian i see something simmering beneath the surface because we watched those comments. He may not be political but he appreciates the president and his policies. Number two is the other person who appreciates the president s policies, the president of mexico within two days of other, remember the president hispanic because they were going to it will what he meant by cracking down on illegal immigration and building the wall. The president has been tougher on venezuela, look at the friendship with the mexican leaders and look at the situations like hardworking hispanic leaders like the ceo of goya and their wonderful family story, if there is some inroads being made and i wouldnt be surprised if this pays off electorally. I dont think thats the goal with goya foods in particular, but i think i see a trend bend building. Steve cue see the trend building toward the first tuesday in november. Everything is political. Law enforcement as we have detailed this morning. Political. The opening of the schools is political. And even a can of beans now is political. Man o man. Where are we . Anyway, we have a busy three hours. Thank you for joining us on this monday. With less than four months to go until the election. Leg up in key battleground states.
