Careful in avoiding the coronavirus and do it for big mom and pop at least one member of the press that seems to think so and wait until you hear what bill oreilly said about those who have died during this pandemic. Im Steve Malzberg lets see the press. Easily. Go by. This past week President Trump did something it one of his coronavirus pressers that ive never seen done by a president or rarely by a politician he decided he was going to answer back to his critics who he believes have been misrepresenting whats been going on his critics specifically being in the media so what he did was he interrupted the press conference or before it really got started and he use. Video clips to make his case video clips using them in much the same way we do to make our case i want you to watch and some day hopefully in 5 years when im not here those papers are all going out of business because nobodys going to want to read them but now they like them because they write about me now with that i have a couple of interesting we have a few clips that were just going to put up we could turn the lights a little bit lower i think youll find them interesting he then ran several short labeled clips to make his points. Being more concerned right now with the flu in this country people are concerned about the krona virus because theyre hearing a lot of news about it right now but the reality is comparing it to the flu for example its not even close to being at a state how worried should americans be about coronavirus coronaviruses not to cause a major is the United States and the presentation continued with this. Well weve asked them to accelerate whatever theyre doing in terms of the vaccine we will be suspending travel from europe to the United States for the next 30 days and as you all might expect the Mainstream Media werent too happy with the whole thing one thing we should point out about the video which looks straight out of beijing or pyongyang i mean there were white house officials who were working on that video this afternoon so that Video Campaign style video propaganda video whatever you want to call it was paid for with your tax dollars and well have more on this coming up in just a few minutes now every once in a while im amazed i see real journalism on t. V. While watching the news real journalism and here is some of it from c. B. S. This morning looking back do you wish you had close things down sooner if you have regrets and would that have lowered the death toll. Yeah i think its the exact opposite factually i dont think youll find another state that moved faster than new york but the question is not whether you move swiftly just in your mind i know this is heavy this weighs heavily on your conscience do you wish and retrospect with hindsight being 2020 that you had close things down sooner former c. D. C. Director tom frieden said 80 percent reduction in face allergies if the closure it comes just a week or 2 earlier so im asking you for a bit of reflection very rare rare but impressive now on the complete opposite end of the spectrum very unimpressive is that before an array from the mouth of former fox news Host Bill Oreilly who was on the sean hannity radio show and he said this about the poor people who have passed away who have died from coronavirus are you sitting down the projections that youve spent your new down to 60000 i dont think itll be that high 13000 now in the usa many people who are dying but here and around the world or on their last legs anyway and i dont want to. Sound callous about what youre going to get a hold on youre going to hear that i mean a simple man tells the truth mr rileys arrogance and pomposity and ignorance apparently know no bounds. And joining me now to discuss some items on the appetizer and more is syndicated columnist with the Washington PostWriters GroupRuben Navarette hello my old friend welcome aboard good be with you my friend good to see you steve. Ok so lets start with the what something that i address in my appetizer the president joe video the presentation at the press conference heres a little different take than the one that we heard from c. N. N. The president has been living for 3 years with what networks and c. N. N. And then s. M. B. Saying who do nothing but call him names 247 he has a right at some point to defend himself and point to the fact that their propaganda is a lie and the best way to do that is with their own words now i personally could not agree more with the judge judge jeanine there whats your take ruben. But steve unlike you im a never trump or i dont support the president did not support the president but the reason ive been critical of the media is because you have been journalist ramos 30 years now and it it really saddens and disheartens me to see the the fact that all the rules have gone out the window as the press and the media make it their Daily Mission to try to subvert this president and get him out of office and so to this case of what with this video i didnt think it was propaganda at all what bothered the media was that he was feeding their words back to the him to them they had said basically you made a mistake by not taking this virus seriously so he said oh yeah let me show you who else wasnt taking this virus seriously could be any you point the finger back at the media so its not propaganda thats just truth and guess what steve it doesnt swallow those folks who pushed that narrative of anti trump narrative dont like swallowing the truth when thrown back in their face i mean they were outraged they called him on a hinge which they called him before and and you know this is the worst ive seen him and you know how dare he do this but youre absolutely right he also went on to play clips from the governors praising him and ate that one clip where he showed what he had done because they said he didnt do enough you know about but im glad glad glad i like wind up when we agree i dont know and we may agree on this one as well Ruben Chris Cuomo c. N. N. I wish him well when he announced a couple of weeks ago and im glad i did that he had tested positive for the coronavirus but he made a comment on is sirius x. M. Radio show les it. Well. I dont like what i do professionally ive decided i want some. Loser fat tirebiter. To be able to pull over and get in my face and in my space. And talk to me. I dont want here. Now he walked it all back i didnt say it i didnt mean it i mean talk about tale of the tape we just heard it but heres the thing the biker he may be referring to is this guy he claims he was threatened by cuomo on Easter Sunday while cuomo was out of his home at a different home that hes developing in the same area with this family now ruben hes been doing a show from the basement i thought he was sick even after this happened and this gentleman filed a complaint for a threat against cuomo the governor came on his show his brother and stated again oh youve been in the basement for 2 straight weeks you havent left the basement for 2 straight weeks are we being hoodwinked here i mean he must have the virus but what is he doing that out allegedly without a mask going to confront some guy on a bike who yelled out of whats going on here and now unfortunately his wife his wife has the virus do. Right exactly so you got to impact the story its you know theres a couple things going on here and i think he does have the virus i think it has been really bad violently bad for him and at some times and i think its terrible that his wife now has been in fact that i dont chris cuomo for a while hes always been good to me i think he had a moment of clarity and honesty when he said i dont like what i do i dont find it fulfilling guess what steve i think that could be applied to cable news host bill even hosts across the board i think what theyre talking about Tucker Carlson or don lemon or whatever theyre not practicing journalism theyre doing entertainment theyre playing gotcha theyre throwing red meat to their crowd the great thing about being don lemon on the left or Tucker Carlson on the right is you only have to use half your brain either these guys only have to use half their brain the right or left half and thats whats allowed on so i think that risk cuomo spoke the truth by saying what you and i know which is whats going on in the evening on these cable shows is not journalism its become this cheap pandering to red or blue and so he got it right i think in that regard in terms of the bike guy the guy on the bike i mean you know ive been accosted in public by people that people have to have a stand this scene very quickly you and i and chris cuomo and the rest were public figures but were not public property ok and i dont like it when Tucker Carlson gets called out at a country club and virginia with his family i dont like it when chris cuomo gets called out by some guy on a bike says hey you got to be inside your brothers the governor again were public figures not public property. Yeah ok i thought i agree with what you said there on the last part however 1st of all comparing don lemon to talk i think Tucker Carlson is a genius i think don lemon is one of the challenge people on t. V. I dont compare them its like not even apples and oranges its like ants in elephants it might it might might make it but heres a guy who are you thinking is living over a milk millions of dollars a year saying you know what he said was he hates his job because he would like. Be able to tell that biker to go after himself i mean thats theres something wrong with that and if youre saying youre sick with the virus what do you do without him i think i would yell at him to anybody hey neighbor you got the virus what they have to do it outside but thats thats thats it very quickly joe biden yes or theres accusations of Sexual Assault against him from a former Senate Staffer if such terror read it took 2 weeks before the media even address it and then they all addressed it once a couple of last sunday i believe it was New York TimesWashington Post a. P. N. B. C. News and the New York Times editor did an interview with his own media writer and it made it good in berkeley i believe that the campaign he said didnt like a certain sentence that looked bad for joe so they took that say edited that sentence the biden camp down got to see the story before it went out to the press what is this quick yeah its a way that is total crap this is not journalism you dont send up stories out of preclearance on either the red or the blue the New York Times dropped the ball here but they werent the only ones the press has one mission here protect joe biden at all costs prop him up and get him across the finish line so he can beat donald trump thats all they care about and this was really a disgusting example of that shame on the New York Times for count toweling to the Biden Campaign you know sending their story over for preclearance and then shame on them for taking that lying out simply because the Biden Campaign wanted it out we ought to do journalism and not do dictation and thats on journalism. Hey ruben its been a pleasure we cant wait to have you back thank you so much my friend. Ok folks we hope that this is piqued your appetite and i want you to stay right where you are because the main course is coming up right after this. Kind of Economic Growth rate if theres going to be one can be expected after the pandemic has won its course time has to been jimmy changed account to mean is there any chance of returning to pretend any condition. Im not for decapitating anybody but i am 40 capitalizing all the wall street bankers by shifting the center of gravity of money from the dollar and fear to bitcoin and thats perfectly within our purview into our scope as the global citizens who wish Justice Justice truth free competition and hard money thats the only justice stud matter that sustainable thats real that doesnt rely on politicians. Whose changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opiate prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. Price at the. Close of dependency and addiction to opiates to long to use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing the long term. And welcome back to the press like many other industries some sections of the news media have been hit very very heart economically speaking by the coronavirus now theres even a push by some Democratic Senators to bail out struggling outlets arties that touches me to see her and she has more of the details that asha. Yes steve while there is certainly a demand for news at this Time Companies simply arent buying ads like they used to but isnt really the answer. There is no question this pandemic caused by the kobe 1000 outbreak has shaken the economy as businesses have been forced to close and stay at home orders were issued last month and 17000000 americans found themselves out of work or with some type of pay cut well places like hair salons and restaurants may come to mind the news industry is also feeling a massive blow and its not because people arent tuning in or reading they are but the revenue normally generated from advertisers simply isnt coming in so in turn more than 20000. 00 employees at various News Companies have been laid off or load or had their pay reduced as a result of the crown a virus the guardian was forced to for a 100. 00 not Editorial Staff the Financial Times also expected to announce a 10 percent pay cut for dozens of senior staff despite having paid subscribers to the site the fresno bee reportedly for allowing 115. 00 employees and its advertising departments in 30 newspapers across the country roughly 4 percent of the workforce are taking kopechne 18 leave for 90 days Los Angeles Times announcing pay cuts for Senior Management and nonunion workers as according to its Parent Company the pandemic has nearly eliminated their ad revenue president of the california times chris r. Gentry saying quote well weve made significant progress in growing our digital Subscriber Base and developing other sources of revenue it is not yet enough to offset the losses the economy is in crisis and its become clear that we need to make some difficult changes in order to meet this challenge other big names like buzz feed vox media the Hollywood Reporter good net Sports Illustrated and vice media to name a few are also laying off employees and cutting pay and those inflight magazines you see on the airplanes are also going away for the time being deltas sky magazine laid off its 16 employees and Alaska Airlines has canceled the. And may issue of alaska beyond magazine in the meantime 19 Democratic Senators send you a letter to Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell asking for future krone virus stimulus package to help fund local journalism the letter stating local news is in a state of crisis thats only been exacerbated by the coated 19 pandemic. And before the crown a virus was a thing we already knew the news industry at large was in for a big change according to the Pew Research CenterNewsroom Employment declined 25 percent in 2008 to 2018 a year before the qana virus even hit china where it reportedly originated steve. Yeah you know natasha as you pointed out and as that letter itself points out for the Democratic Senators the local News Business has been suffering in some areas more than others for a long time so if they get a bailout its really going to prop up what many consider to be a dying industry anyway. Yeah steve as Technology Evolves the news industry especially newspaper another print Companies Like you said have been struggling for some time so instead of trying to save a failing industry hopefully account volved and improve you know maybe not so biased who knows steve it might be worth a. Bias true thats an interesting word thank you very much you guys are great to see you. Ladies and gentlemen recently it is come to light that members of the Africanamerican Community along with other minority groups are disproportionately affected by the head demick of the coronavirus now this led the u. S. Surgeon general to issue a warning to these groups and the language that he use didnt sit well with some in the media watch a quick question for you you said that africanamericans and latinos should avoid alcohol drugs into bacco hell say do it for you while i do it for big mom and pop there some people are going to go into and there are some people in mind there are already offended by that language and the idea that youre saying behaviors in my meetings high death rate to talk about whether or not people could you get that response or move might be offended by the language to. Everybodys offended by language joining us now to discuss is kim a classic who herself has been attacked and victimized by the media well get to that shes also running for congress as a republican in maryland 7th Congressional District the seat formerly held by the late Alicia Cummings running against them for may cam welcome aboard. Hi thanks for having me my pleasure all right so i want you to hear you heard the objection to to the Surgeon General want you to hear the Surgeon Generals response here it is we need targeted outreach to the Africanamerican Community and i use the language that is used in my family and i have a puerto rican brother in law i call my granddaddy granddaddy i have relatives who call their their their grandparents big mama so that was not meant to be offensive thats the language that we use and that i use and we need to continue to target our outreach to those communities. Arik so kim what do you make of the 1st the objection raised by mr alcindor at the press conference and his choice of words and his explanation why i think her objection there is ludicrous honestly he is an africanamerican man if he says he used that language at home i have no reason to not believe him but i thought it was interesting because i actually followed that reporter our twitter and she said that people were offended by that language but i have to say that she made the statement on twitter and then said to repeat what she posted in that briefing so i think she was more offended than anybody else was if you check the comments on that tweet now i think targeted outreach is important there was some misinformation going on he was trying to combat that people were saying that africanamericans were immune to it at some point in time i think banjos even pointed that out i have that out he also brought up that as you mention that a possible contributing factor to the disproportionate effect of the virus in that community. Had had another reason and here it is watch when i talk to the end i will a. C. P. And 3 weeks ago its important to note that the one of the things they asked me with can you help to spell the miss in this community that people actually cant get coronavirus if theyre black that with a myth that without that if it actually very important for us to squash here what do you make of that where there is this something that was actually happening and could that be a contributing factor to the disproportionality in that community. Absolutely there is a video that went viral in Baltimore City with a Police Officer coughing as hes walking down the street and i know a woman said im africanamerican and im a leo and and that officer obviously he see reprimand and because thats not acceptable that she had that misinformation and that is what was going on in many communities and i think targeted outreach is important i myself am predisposed to diabetes and i also have high Blood Pressure and if somethings going to harm me or my family more than others id like to know about it. Absolutely i want to i want to just let the folks know because this is something thats arifin you were attacked by april ryan after the death of a larger cummings for she as she put it contributing to his death really i think for pointing out simply pointing out the problems in baltimore which again the president picked up on and it became a whole big National Kind of kind of story april ryan of course of urban American Networks and c. N. N. She really went after you hard how did you feel when you were in effect the way i interpreted blamed for contributing to the death of allies or coming simply by pointing out legitimate problems within the baltimore area. 1st i couldnt believe that he implied such a thing but his widow by a cummings actually went on t. V. And talked about how he had been sick for years so it deftly didnt have anything to do with the fact that i was just shining light on the blight and the trash lining the streets in baltimore but you know it all right and i know she has her own agenda id like to personally thank her because you know she implied that after i announced i was running for congress and that alone raised my campaign over 8000. 00 so she contributed in some way but it was silly it was not even interesting to me obviously people will watch it and watch what she says and c. N. N. She says lots of things all the time her and Brian Stetler and i dont think people really take them as credible sources so you know it is what it is ok listen kim great to talk to you and good luck in your campaign and thank you for being with us to talk about the media and and the lunacy thats involved with them thank you. You so much.

Greetings and sal you take issue with another we could down another about to begin we have to sit step back and ask ourselves where do where do it where does everything stand oct watchers this week saw the end of the Bernie Sanders campaign for president of the United States after the man himself took to the airwaves wednesday to announce he was suspending his campaign and in a final showing of heart and true to the character of the senator. Sanders Campaign Manager also announced this week that Campaign Workers would remain on the campaigns Health Care Plan through october and if you think thats not really a big deal just ask all those laid off Bloomberg Campaign staffers who are now having to sue the former new york city mayor claiming they were promised jobs and health care through november regardless of whether he won the democratic nomination or not so with sanders now gone that leaves us with the all inspiring history making amazing straw uses of the sitting President Trump or the former Vice President joe biden yeah donald trump and joe biden wow i mean wow what a what a testament to the intelligence originality and trailblazing leadership that we
