Caller well, it should be the top news story of the week, thats what im thinking nobody its like the biggest story nobody is talking about. Host all right. Well stick to the news headlines. Has been locked in the papers and a lot weve covered so far this week on the washington journal. Want to give your chance if you havent gotten in earlier this week if theres c a topic that weve been talking up in the news or on capitol hill that you want to talk about, phone lines are open to do it. Karen indianapolis, indiana, republican, good morning are you with us . Caller yes ibm. Host who go ahead, man. Caller we are just set up your we understand the layers of the obama and biden and clinton era, and wee would like to see more come out as far as the doj investigating into the layers of espionage against trump and anyone that did not deal with the democratic set up as far as obamacare. We would like more investigations. We are fed up with the fighting in the streets and taking over our cities, mayors and governors have sworn an oath to protect their citizens. Those oats are being made the side certain constituents own direction i want to take the country. Wewe all agree, Police Reform needs done. Things did we change. It will need more help as far as directing whats wrong to squash crime. But the violence has got to stop. The general public is that up. I worry about vigilante groups coming up in the future due to this, and we will protect america and the constitution. Host that is geared in indiana. You mentioned obamacare, the Affordable Care act come pretty Major Development yesterday on that front in the form of new filing inw the Supreme Court frm the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration late last and urging the Supreme Court to strike down obamacare pushing forward with its attack on the Health Care Laws as millions of newly jobless americans may come to been on its coverage. This is the story from politico. The Justice Department in in aw legal brief arguing obamacare in its entirety became invalid when the previous Republicanled Congress asked the unpopular individual mandate penalty for uninsured people. The filing comes weeks after President Trump confirmed that his administration would continue to press for obamacare is elimination, going to warnings they write from top aides about the risk of voter backlash in november. That filing from the Trump Administration coming in the same week that House Democrats unveiled a new bill to tweak the Affordable Care act. So plenty to discuss and more to watch on that front. That finding on the Supreme Court, and the end of this term. Were still waiting about a dozen cases the head down by the Supreme Court. Expectations that the term likely to stretch into july use the Supreme Court ending its term by the end of june but with so many cases yet to be decided or handed down, then likely the decision stretch into the coming weeks. Jorge is next. Truth or consequences new mexico democrat, good morning. Caller good morning. I would like to speak about word definition i think we need to start that. I was watching trump puppet with a build the navy ships and if you listen to what he says, trump, seems like theres two versions of trump up there. There is what is called targeted marketing. Target americans were you solve something. So in order to solve something you want to target your market. So you can target it two ways with positive messages or with negative messages. You listen to trump and when he goes to his supporters rallies, is a completely different person, when you go to places where he doesnt like the populace come hes very negative, and so you look at the response that he gets and its what he is spreading, either spreading negativity or positivity and jeff to target your market. Now, he went to marionette wisconsin where the make the navy. He states there in his own words that hes got an issue with democrats, that he dislikes you do have to listen to what he says. He says it plain and clear why he is doing. You have to watch where he is going and then what the effects are after he leaves. Now, its to our detriment that we believe him when he says one thing and then that we believe him when he says another thing. We need to open our eyes, we need to listen, be very careful what we do and the choices that we make because when you believe a liar who is using targeted marketing and saying one thing to one group of one thing to another, you know, its not clear. Host from more from the president , he presses the enter town hall if it with sean hannity on fox news. Heres more from the president yesterday on the discussion about coronavirus and concerns about flareups of coronavirus in this country. This is the president. So we have more cases because we do the latest testing if we did to testing we have the cases of the countries they dont test minions come up to almost 30,000,000 tests so when you do 30 million you have kid with the sniffles and they will say its coronavirus, whatever you want to call it. I said the other night they are so many names to this i could name 19 names, like corona 19, but i could name 19 names but the fact is that theres never been a thing like this. Weve done 30 million almost we will be the probably today or tomorrow, 30 million tests and would you to test your cases. What they dont say is there are fewer deaths than there have been. Way, way down, and our mortality rate is among the best countries in the world, meaning that people that die because a lot of these tests, its a case a kid doesnt even appear in some cases its the people who didnt even know they were sick. Maybe they were not but it shows up in a test so they will say 30 million tests, night have a big percentage of that of the country to very few tests it so shows they have very few cases. Sometimes i jokingly say, or sarcastically say, if we didnt do tests, we would look great. You know what, its that the right thing to do. Host President Trump last night at that foxnews townhall. Were asking other washington journal what your top news story of this past week was. Give us a call and let us know what you think or send us a tweet or a a text message like jeffrey did out of georgia saying as a georgian the story of the week is that the General Assembly here has to hate crimes bill. The sad reality is it that the death of Ahmaud Arbery and george floyd to get that law pastor where waiting for the governor to sign it. Rob in new york city, democrat, what you think the top story of the week was . Caller what i wrote down for the top strategy thought in my head for some reason, that people come trump is always bragging he takes a dollar figure salary, but warned buffett i believe has given away 90 of its total total assets, given away 90 of his total assets, and largely to the bill and Melinda Gates foundation here so to take its ridiculous to brag about taking one dollar a year what the seller is, 170542 what a quarter and giving away a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. Its a year. Its nothing. Warren buffett has given away billions come i think hundreds of billions, or 90 billion or anyway, thats not with the coronavirus becoming, getting seemingly now the hospitals are near capacity and many southern states, Many Republican states, and its becoming a crisis. And it occurred to me that our president is not really capable of doing the work as president. I think his brain is not wired for doing the work. His brain is more wired for making up falsehoods and to think he takes the easy way out. I think hes a master at pretending that he can do the work, but he cant do the work. I think its a big stage act. I think it is a big Tv Reality Show when we have tried what do you think the president s task force can do the work . Do you trust dr. Redfield, dr. Fauci, the Vice President s worked on the task force . How do you think the president has handled the coronavirus pandemic when it comes to the people that he is appointed to these positions . Caller you know, i like dr. Fauci but he doesnt speak simply and direct. He doesnt talk simply and directly to the american people. Those like a double sorted meeting to please trump, and so its frightening. You hear people in some of the other stations. I had a republican friend of mine, a dear friend of mine who said to me recently in a phone conversation, and he doesnt do anything on the tv anymore about the coronavirus, and i realize he is glued to fox television. And i said to my friend, you know, i said you would ought to turn on cnn for a half hour or an hour. Its amazing the lopsided mr. If you will allow me one more quick thing. I am an experienced insurance investigator and i worked for close to 40 years in new york city. And i am a liberal propolice democrat, all this talk about liberal democrats being against the police. I am a pro police. I have friends on the force, and in my investigations there are a lot of extra Police Officers that, and oddly, exconvicts who work as bouncers x police who work in bars and clubs that nukes it and ive been a liability investigator for decades to come in and find out after theres an incident and theres quite often the case that some of the liability, some of the fights that ive investigated over the years has been the result of the tempers out of control on the part of the bouncers which make again, there are excops and ex cons that work sidebyside sometimes in the same club which is what i think george floyd im sorry if i got his name im sorry, the fellow that, believe they work in the same club and assure they knew each other and ensure there was some tension there. But i have coached bouncers, again, excops and excons that your job is that necessarily to stand at the front door of the bar and check the ideas of the pretty girls or whatever. Thats not the job the job is not to do the light stuff. The job i can tell you how many people have responded to me and told me ive never been told this before, but what i have told them is that your job begins when the clients, when the customers, when the tensions rise from alcohol or whatever, your job is to come in and calm the people down, not to become and drunk kuster might use the inward and go crazy on the balance and then theres been countless times investigations that ive had again close to 40 years. Host you feel like the training is not fair or it is there when it comes to the escalation tactics . Caller i have told dozens of people when it had the time can sometimes i doing a slip and fall accident and they have the time, sometimes its about a fight and him talking to a bouncer who kept his cool. I get it could be an excop or excon. That is the time when a customer comes up in gets up in your face and starts to get crazy on you, and often it is just verbal stuff that can be deescalated. Host rot in new york city. Rob started by talking about the coronavirus and the President Task force. Heres a little more from that hearing earlier this week come dr. Fauci again on where we are, where he thinks were going to be on the development of vaccine for coronavirus. The hallmark of all defining responses that we have the virus diseases, if you look at the history of viral diseases, it i
