Staying at home is exactly what many of us across the country are doing staying at home and going on strike yes in recent days weve seen average u. S. Citizens from all walks of life suddenly spring to life as they are rising up against the many forms of financial oppression they face in these very oppressive times across the country from california to new york city and a great many cities in between on april 1st many of them more than 40000000. 00 who wrote rent homes and apartments the United States are taking part in rent strikes with hashtag rent strike trending social media pages have been filled with pictures of strikers hanging white sheets from their windows and showing their neighborhood then the world that they will not be paying rent during this time of crisis casey james out of atlanta who is advocating and organizing that no 1. 00 pay rent until the pandemic ends somethings up pretty simply to the Washington Post stating its not fair everything is shut down you cant work our mayor says stay home dont go outside but were expected were expected to pay the cost of subsidizing landlords if were really in this disaster everything should be frozen. Meanwhile things are not well on the good ship amazon his employees are staging walkouts and strikes at warehouses in chicago Staten Island and beyond in response to not only the companys allegedly sub par coronavirus Safety Measures but also for their brutal treatment and public slandering of any worker who calls attention to it. The trumpet ministration says this week will be like pearl harbor and 911. 00 and the death the tragedy front but could this week also bring us a new generation is a battle of Cripple Creek or mickeys rock strike lets find out as we start watching. Whats going on a cd. Player so you. See this is this joyce state. Great city this ladys systemic deception is so but shes. So youll. Want to watch it. And i think its across boy oh boy i mean not only are we seeing this kind of oppressive time and were seeing people staying indoors but were also seeing people rise up we absolutely are and i dont think that there could be a better time because amid all of this disaster we also solve the white house and a lot of the Congress Members go back and forth about what a relief package what a stimulus package would look like and now weve seen at least the 1st round or the 3rd let them tell it of the stimulus package nobody has seen a chick yet and the majority of folks who actually saw all the relief are going to be these major corporations we also saw that what was it the airlines got billions of dollars in terms of a bailout it leaves one of them has already laid off hundreds of thousands of employees its only expected something that congress should have actually put into into the stimulus package before they handed over that cash because one of the issues we always see is that. The government likes to bail out big business and those bailouts dont necessarily help the people who work for those businesses or the people who lives those services and i think that right now were seeing a lot of businesses taking advantage of workers particularly those essential workers that are working in your Grocery Stores the folks who are driving your the folks who are working in at amazon and other other factory related businesses and arent really thinking about their health or their safety so it is high time that people take the streets will get it will take to the internet to get as much attention around this as possible i saw the great meme kind of come out of all this were you know it had a play on bruce willis in armageddon where its kind of like hey essential workers we never want to pay taxes again ever with you know the pledge because you know there are that needed but this is insane and you know what the demands of like lets say the chicago look at chicago Amazon Warehouse workers went on strike their demands are not terribly aggressive they say basic simple demand says cover medical bills for employees or family members who contract the corona virus as a result of exposure at this warehouse suspend write ups based on the rate at which workers package and sort deliveries to ensure workers have enough time to actually practice safety precautions and at the end maintain transparency about all the coronavirus cases that are out there where how that happened at the warehouse and soon as managers know about them thats pretty easy simple the measure of an absolutely theyre not asking for anything pie in the sky theyre not asking for anything theyre honestly not asking for any extra free stuff either what they are asking for is basic access and what youre talking about those who work for amazon what people have to realize is that over 70 percent of their workers or low wage workers are part to part time workers or contractors these are individuals who do not qualify for Health Insurance under amazon and these are the individuals who are making sure that everything you and anybody else across the globe is ordering gets to them because they have to be in those factories and theyre not getting their basic necessities and no theyre not and then when you go over to the rent side of this thing were seeing people say i cant pay rent people 1st and weve just passed up with. People stand up saying what i got no job i got furloughed how am i supposed to pay rent this is ridiculous and its not about like paying rent to somebody who owns a condo who you know rents out to a few people you know these are big corporate landownership big corporate groups that own these apartments this is about saying standing up to a corporation saying im not just going to hand you money when i have a member give exactly and in most of our Major Urban Centers the chicago the d. C. The l. A. What you do see is that a lot of these are a lot of runners are paying their cash to very large groups that multiple buildings in many cases across multiple cities at the same time these are individuals who are going to totally fall apart should they create some sort of relief for people who honestly can not come up with the money right now and not all of them are asking to not pay anything at all a lot of them are asking just for a little bit of extra time because they simply do not know what next week is going to look like what thats what is going to look like and they know that they. Are still do but right now theyre making some really intense decisions a lot of that is whether you know the lights are going to stay on keeping food on the table their kids are at home and again a lot of these individuals do not have Health Insurance so theyre also trying to come up with the cost of those medical bills and that and that level of care i say i applaud them for standing up and saying no were not going to take this and just to quickly before we move on to the next subject of 34 states have actually issued extensive moratorium sort of actions but that still means they have to pay the back roads and that doesnt mean ok we wont get evicted but then you know 8 months from now theyre going to have like 2 months where they got to make up for a no one can afford about at the end of the day come on. Mandatory quarantine shelter in place stay at home however you phrase it the meaning is the thing stay home save lives as the world continues to grapple with the realities of its latest invader at 19 the safest place should be your home but if you are a victim of Domestic Violence coronavirus the cautions put you guys. In the crosshairs across the United States reports of Domestic Violence skyrocketed in the month of march in conjunction with a growing list of cities and acting stay at home borders Domestic Violence calls are increasing to Law Enforcement agencies are seeing double digit cases in calls across cities like houston charlotte chicago in phoenix the national Domestic Violence hotline a Lifeline Call Center averages 1800. 00 to 2000 calls per day. A perfect storm of desperation is growing for people rapid job loss job uncertainty for those still employed housing insecurity and rip pylons it just keeps getting worse and worse the Financial Stress alone creates an unhealthy environment leaving families with a history of Domestic Violence on the brink of disaster with many kids being home from school and college during the coronavirus pandemic young people have a lot to the abuse and assault as well to top it all what is being called pearl harbor week as the coronavirus backdrop consumes every part of our daily life Domestic Violence shelters are fighting to keep their doors open there has been no Government Stimulus Program despite our nations shelters at peak capacity and their fundraising capabilities. This is personal to my best friend and Sorority SisterMegan Montgomery was shot and killed by her estranged husband just a few months ago and my own little sister right now is fleeing Domestic Violence with my 4 year old nephew and 2 year old niece into as we battle coronavirus we have to also think about those fighting for their lives at home where shelter in place is no shelter at all. This is a great a great story a great subject matter that you brought you brought up today and we should because its one of those things i think we forget too quickly these are those things that slide through the cracks were saying oh i want to stay at home be safe from the virus will like as you pointed out what if there is potentially more dangerous or equal to the brains of catching the virus absolutely in a think but it poses so many issues because the whole meteorology around Domestic Abuse and abusers is that they want to path to isolate the people they have this gives them the perfect way to do so these individuals arent visiting family because they cant they arent interacting with friends they have no real estate and now they are cooped up in a home with this abuser 24 sevenths and what do you do where do you go how do you escape key. And you even call is that even safe because now this person is here watching you all day all day and then when you add when you add in that as were talking earlier today when you add in the dangerous mix you know your mentioning you know the loss of wages the pressures of being under the you know idea of what any minute if i go outside and talk to the wrong person i could get sick and go you know good although when you add to the mix to an already volatile situation the Domestic Abuse is this is this is something that we have to kind of figure out an answer for real quick because we cant keep going on like this we cant keep putting these people in danger like this absolutely and one of the other things that we also know is that a lot of people who suffer from Domestic Violence of Domestic Abuse are also folks who have symptoms of depression anxiety and all of these other Mental Health issues that come from living a life of constant fear we also know that those individuals and the support that they need from Mental Health centers and theyre not getting were talking about the lack of money and the lack of attention paid to these the method violence shelters those Mental Health clinics and that support has all but been eradicated over the past 5 years in a lot of cities across the country where a lot of those places have completely shut down and right now the phone is ringing off the hook to get some type of assistance to those in need and you know and whenever you talk about these cases too you also talk about like a lot of the victims of Domestic Abuse are world one point able to use hotels air b. And b. Places like that to run to new orleans like hey can you give me some but i got to get out of their situation to get picked up dr already. Now thats not an option really its not there at all and weve seen air b. N. B. Extend itself to a lot of our front line workers a lot of our nurses because they recognize that those people cant come in contact with their kids when they go home but we havent seen that sort of outreach to Domestic Violence victims so they dont have any place else to go except the home to stay in the home where theyre being abused every day and the standing of the even more saddening part is that many of those individuals who express who. Violence my sister being included do their best to shelter their kids from it even when theyre in the same place either you know they will have somebody come pick them up they put them in daycare they put them in after School Programs all of these things to try to mitigate them actually seeing it live right now none of that is possible what what is the what is the way that you see someone not only who started this many years but also someone whos mentioned some of the family do it what is the way out what to do what can government do how can people help these people right now i think that they do and its tough because were seeing so its an Election Year and Election Year politics are always very wonky and difficult the reauthorizing the violence against womens act we need to do and we needed to do it yesterday i dont care who the president is what we know is that Domestic Violence is not respective of blue or red it doesnt care what region of the country youre in and what region of the world youre in we need to get to a point where we are sounding the alarm where those people arent able to get guns right now that more we need to get to a point where we are providing a safe haven we need to increase the amount of funding to those Domestic Violence shelters particularly to organizations who help to how those individuals who are basically on the run from these abusive situations and fully recognize it and i say this because my dear for in last her life 2 days after thanksgiving she had in her possession a in order to keep him away from her he came 2 weeks later pulled her out of a restaurant and shot her in the back 3 times so its a problem for me when people think that you just going to the police and then giving you a restraining order is going to protect you because that does not work its a great thing to do but it doesnt mean that your life is going to say its the 1st part everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man for the brand new portable t.

Its an Election Year and though coronavirus threats have taken over life as we know it here in the usa theres always time for politics new York Governor Andrew Cuomo has provided such stellar covert 19 daily briefings that Many Democrats want to draft him for the presidency and others see him as a sure fire v. P. Pick President Trump is using his daily briefings as pseudo Campaign Rallies speaking directly to his base using the colorful language hes become known for and of course attacking journalists every chance he gets former Vice President biden is the living addresses via social media from his basement and every day more and more responsibility for the Pandemic Response falls on local leaders thats right governors right now its your time to shine are meeting the challenges and others are falling short cities like new orleans new york and even small town georgia are feeling the heat in a big way as corona virus continues to spread and hospitals become overwhelmed states and localities responded with shelter in place orders but theyre piecemeal at best. Florida delayed closing its beaches governor to stay interests with adamant about preventing yorkers from traveling to the Sunshine State but act as though spring breakers were amusing to the buyer sprayed in georgia governor kim issued an executive order to reopen beaches just last week in direct conflict with city mayors across the state not to mention the c. D. C. Guidance also admitted to not knowing a symptomatic people could even spread the virus where has he been over the past few weeks and what did he think the whole point of socalled distancing whats markedly democratic governors like cuomo in new york j. P. Puts going illinois governor bush here in kentucky and whitmer in michigan are doing a far better job than they were public and counterparts the question is why why arent republican governors with the exception of de wine in ohio and hogan in maryland taking this virus more seriously states are in urgent need for support supplies and direct action joining us now is ed markey former chairman of the missouri Republican Party welcome. Great to be with you guys hope you both well we are up your throughout its going to be interesting to do your week says and i want to hasnt has it in your experience what why are the virus responsible state level state the state governor the governor why are they so divergent and why is there no cohesiveness to the state responses. Well i think i have 2 perspectives on this one with the political hand and one is i was once chief of staff to the governor of missouri and when i was chief of staff one of the things that i was briefed a lot on was the state Emergency Management you know when you came to understand that you had certain challenges that were specific to your state specific to you or at that time the state the state guard the state police the state laws so some of it is just a structure and some of it is how each state is set up and some of it is a preference based on things like in st louis achievement missouri for example 2 major cities samus in kansas city were in our state. That kind of tended to to adjust things in terms of the urban rural component to me you dont with that differently but then wearing a political hat these guys and gals at the top of these states these are the some of the coming you know most talented coming men and women in terms of their party so theyre also trying to find their role and i you know we talked to our organization my realization the philosophical eagles are eagles are in most states and places like montana they want to do less right they think they want to do less and they want to be more you know kind of free and let things go and as you said in places where thats happened the governors have a rush to adjust their policies again were dealing with a something its everybody i think agrees is so once in a generation or once in a 100 years everybodys adjusting on the fly one thing i would say from a conservative perspective i like seeing the states being in charge i like andrew cuomo being strong i dont hes always been right but i think hes been the one whos saying hey heres what my Community Needs you know then you get to blasio who made a mess of it for a period is adjusted so i think were seeing on the that the on the fly there just into the problem and were going to see floridas paying a price for some of their decisions but other states have been ahead of the curve and i look at missouri my home state they just decided a couple days ago to sort of go fully shelter in place i think its because we could see the numbers and it made sense for them to i think thats a better way for our country to work. I think i probably agree with me when it comes to states actually taking that leadership role especially especially considering who is in the white house right now. The thought is set to have the largest wave of crisis coronavirus cases and its grossly underprepared in terms of possible infrastructural rule medicine clinic closures if they will to expand medicaid why arent republican governors in those areas addressing their health care infrastructure. Well i think a couple things 1st of all i think most states you know we look back and theyll be plenty of time for this youll see that most of the states did not spend the money to stockpile resources as with. Present referred to and thats both parties i think they thought well this will never happen to us or if it does will it just look i think most of the scientists are saying were trying to flatten the curve and slow the spread but were going to see it go every you know its going to spread across the country everywhere and how we deal with it as you point out is going to be the question not im heartened to see the adjustment of states i think it was maybe illinois that was sending ventilators to a different state in other words were going to see this movement of resources around the country the key thing is going to be though to a both tasks and adjust where we see it growing and then make decisions about how we sort of restart our country and restart our economy one thing im frustrated with with both the presidency the president and the and the governors is whats the plan i mean we cant say short of in our homes for 60 more days we have to have a plan on how to start this process not phased you know phase 3 entry into the workforce whatever it is but i look at i think will be plenty of time for the south to adjust i think youll see guys like cuomo and others who will help the federal government stamp but its all once again a generation or 100 years challenges were facing that it truly is of and its interesting to see just you know how under prepared we were further this for this and as somebody you know im im a big i believe states to definitely be you know in charge of taking care of their own states they know their people best we agree very much on that ken but ken states compete with the pedal government for supplies in the marketplace i mean weve heard can talk to governor bush or him paddick we say that states come up they cant compete with the pads when it comes to spending in the marketplace and i agree with the feds need to get a plan in place not just for getting people back to work but for handling the virus in the 1st place. Yeah i mean a couple things on that 1st of all the state governments cant print money which is what the federal government just did which is you know we can say oh really. To have inflation during this time period where you cant raise prices but its a disaster in the making to print a trillion dollars worth of dollar bills and so we can all agree on that so i grew i understand what the states mean but heres the heres the challenge i would say is that in our states we have i think we have to have a little bit better accountability in our states im talking missouri now for a 2nd the biggest the biggest employer in our state of the government is the Hospital System b j c in st louis its a nonprofit its one of these nonprofits that everybody makes a fortune at their Real Estate Development company like these universities that have billions of dollars in downs and they lay off the cafeteria workers in harvard that when this week i would like to see our states and our leaders both parties are held hostage by these Hospital Systems in every state and also the Insurance Companies that are still making money off of this these are the people that need to be pressure points the Hospital System b j c in st louis has billions of dollars they could be buying whatever they want and they turn around and say oh look were hamstrung im sorry the top guy at barnes huge b j c is make it 3 or 4000000. 00 a year to run a Hospital System i mean weve got some problems i think were seeing a realignment in this country of the see who the corporate actors are and how its impacting things now i will say this i would say we need our Health Care System to allow more transparency and price and more competition i think others would say we need more money in the system but whatever it is we know the Health Care System is not doing well enough its going to be the topic Going Forward in the next couple years i will say this that is were for the shop the show to bury him and thank you for coming out of i will say this though that i havent waited to rethink our entire economic and Health Care System from the ground up because if it cant survive american spending almost for 4 weeks that have some of them there is something wrong with that to begin with thank you very much sir always a pleasure avenue. Great to see you both.

I can come up with lots of arguments theres a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made.
