Financial trouble by the coronavirus pandemic. It was part signing ceremony, Part Campaign rally. It happened at his new jersey golf resort. The president railing against china, Congressional Democrats and joe biden. Also accusing democrats of steering pandemic relief money into political projects and trying in the president s words to, quote, steal the election. As for the actual executive orders the president signed, they target the sticky issue of enhanced Unemployment Benefits and a dollar amount the democrats and republicans couldnt agree upon. The three other orders are designed to take the pressure off of americans who are dealing with the financial impact, which is now of course this pandemic, now entering its sixth month. I want to bring in Kristin Holmes and daniel dale. Kristin, you were at that press conference. There was a lot of politicking, there was a lot of Campaign Rallying. Talk to us about the substance, though, of these executive orders signed by the president. Reporter well, erica, there were four executive orders and im going to start with the most straightforward and we can get into the weeds on the other two. He deferred student loan debts which will be a big deal and also extended that Eviction Moratorium through executive order, so both of those are very substantial and will help a lot of people. The other two are a little bit more complex. He had a payroll tax holiday for americans earning less than 100,000 a year but its convoluted and hard to understand exactly how its going to work. President trump said this was going to go back in time, so its going to actually start in august, retroactive, and go through december. Its unclear whether or not people will have to pay this back. President trump essentially said if hes elected into office that he will dissolve them having to pay this back, but theres still a big question there as to what exactly that means. The other one was this 400 in enhanced Unemployment Benefits. The reason why this is a little bit complex and convoluted is that its actually only 300 of federal money. They are asking the states to pay 25 , so that extra 100. I have to tell you, i got off the phone with one state official immediately after this announcement who laughed when i told him about the announcement and said we just dont have that money. Weve been asking for federal help now. Of course this is something we have heard from many of states, that they need federal assistance. Remember, thats one of the big sticking points here. Democrats asking for that assistance for state and local government. So its unclear whether or not or which states are going to be able to actually pay that extra 100, erica. Yeah, a number of things that we need to clarify there in response to those executive orders. Daniel, what stood out to you . We were watching this earlier and i know there were a few points that deserve a fact check. There was a lot of lying, frankly. Most of it was about democrats. For example, the president claimed than even democrats support a payroll tax cut. They dont. Thats just wrong. He claimed that democrats did not want to do anything to help with eviction. Democrats wanted to continue that Eviction Moratorium and had proposed rental assistance for tenants. He claimed that democrats were trying to use their house relief bill to steal the election. Thats just baseless nonsense. He claimed that that house bill tried to make states, mandate states to use universal mailin voting. Thats not true. It provided additional funding for states to run their elections. The president denied something he said yesterday on camera. He was reminded that he had predicted facing legal action, legal challenges over these orders and he said i didnt say that. But he said it. This happens over and over. The president says something for all of us to see and when its inconvenient, he denies that it ever happened. He was actually pressed on that particular point by one of the reporters afterwards in the q a. Brian stelter is also with us. So we saw in that moment right when the president the president was pressed about him talking about legal no, i didnt. I didnt say that. The reporter said, yes, you did. Which was part of a very shauorq a with the president but it was another example as we heard the crowd cheering when the president was shutting down a reporter trying to follow up on a legitimate question where it felt more like a Campaign Rally because hes again at his golf club and there seemed to be people there in attendance making it feel more like a rally. Take a listen to this moment. Mr. President let me finish. It was passed in 2014. Go ahead, please. Its a false statement, please. Thank you. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. You heard the cheering there. A separate question from cbs as she was trying to ask the president something that daniel fact checked a number of times. Why does he keep saying hes responsible for this act for veterans when he is not. And the cheering that came along with that, brian, from the crowd that was there, the cheering of the president shutting down and ignoring, frankly, a legitimate question, walking away as hes done to our own kaitlin collins. Yeah, this bedminster setting is something that the president used three years ago in the early stage of his presidency, you know, back when he was running for his office he used maralago and he would let some of the club members come in and watch in the background. This feels like a return to that. The president is combining the power of positive thinking, that famous book which he subscribes to, if you Say Something enough it will come true. He combines the power of positive thinking with the political benefits of negative thinking. He is going so extraordinarily negative. Weve got to invent new words for the dictionary for what he is doing, the tactics here of accusing the democrats essentially of being evil. Essentially of not being american, not being patriotic, not being citizens. It is the lower, lower, lower, were going lower, lower, lower, the bar is lower, lower, lower and were still three months to election day. Hes saying hes the hero and then its extraordinarily negative. And when he is called out on it, even once or twice by reporters, he immediately folds. It is so revealing that he walks away as soon as reporters point out his inaccurate statements. But i do think, erica, were going to keep seeing these cheering sections and it does from a visual standpoint as a viewer watching this, it does create this sense that he is being supported and cheered on, even though these are people that pay to be members of his club. So its literally the most hand picked members of his fan club you can imagine. That question that he ignored as he was walking out, daniel, since he refuses to answer that question, i know you can. I know you can tell us the truth about what he signed and whats actually behind it. Daniel dale, ill throw that one to you. Trump has told this lie 150 times at least as president. Its extraordinary. The Veterans Choice Program was signed into law by president barack obama in 2014. It was an initiative spearheaded by the late senator john mccain and senator bernie sanders. What it did was allow veterans to be reimbursed by the government for receiving health care from private doctors or other doctors outside the va system. Now, what trump signed in 2018 was called the va mission act. And that modified and expanded the initial criteria for the Choice Program. So trump can brag about it, look, we got eligibility access for more veterans. But instead what he keeps saying is that others had tried and failed he said today decades and decades and decades. He usually says others had tried and failed for 50 years and then he came along and got the Choice Program himself and thats just not true. It is not, and we appreciate you setting the record straight. Daniel dale, brian stelter, kristen holmes, thank you all. Right nows ats the coronavirus continues to spread 250,000 bikers are flocking to the sturgis motorcycle rally. Masks are not required. Ryan young is there and joins me now. We know that theyre optional. The mayor has said hes asking everybody to follow cdc guidelines. We know this is a very important rally when it comes to the financial situation in the area, the economy there. Is there much of a concern with the folks that youve spoken with about contracting the virus . Reporter look, that has been a concern for some people and there are some businesses that are downtown that are closed. But i can tell you there are people who are fearful of speaking out about this rally because they understand the power that these bikers hold. When you think about a city of 7,000 that swells in the way that it does and all the money that comes into this area, people dont want to be too vocal about speaking out when it comes to shutting down their own business in the future, so you can understand that. Weve been talking about how far people have been coming. Look at this, right in front of us really. You can see plates from michigan, georgia, washington state, oregon, and all the plates from florida. Because all these bikes lined up here are from florida. So you can see that people traveled a great distance to be here. I talked to one businessman who told me he came for over 2,200 miles because this, he said, will make or break him. Thats a man weve been talking about consistently because this really is a shot in the arm. I wish i had a helicopter to show you the amount of spread thats here. Its over two miles. In fact take a look from above. You can see all the way down the way here, there are bikes lined up all down the road. On top of that, we talked about the social distancing and the masks. Nobody has been wearing a mask for the last hour and a half. We havent seen anybody wearing a mask. Most folks we talk to say theyre not concerned about the coronavirus because they believe theyre social distancing happens when they are on the bike. They believe this is a fresh air environment. In fact theres 106 new cases in the state today, but still people are like were not concerned about the coronavirus. They plan to go to concerts and the rallies that theyre going to be all throughout this area. In fact listen to this one bike rider telling us why he thought he had to come for this event. Are you worried about covid at all. Hell no. Were going to get it sooner or later. Thats how you feel, no mask [ bleep ] the mask. As long as you aint sick, you aint got no business being out here. Thats the bottom line. Reporter erica, look, weve been talking for several hours now. The passion that people have for this festival, its almost a religious experience. People stop, they want to see each others bikes and compare equipment. This is all part of it. This is something people have been waiting for for months and you can understand whats going on. As you heard the guy going by, best party anywhere. People are excited, erica. Ryan young live on the ground for us in sturgis. Ryan, thank you. One couple in arizona learning a hard lesson about the coronavirus. After initially dismissing the danger. We were totally lacks daidai about it. And then they both contract the virus. They share their story, next. Id like to tell you about my greatgrandmother. My grandma. My cousin. My greatgreat grandmother. She was all of 411 but very tenacious. Lacks days cal. Lacks days cal. Lackadaisical. Lackadaisical. Designo get virtually everyxball hair on the first stroke, while washing away dirt and oil. So youre ready for the day with a clean shave and a clean face. Ok, so, magnificent mile for me i thought i was managing. My moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Yes until i realized something was missing. Me. You ok, sis . My symptoms kept me from being there for my sisters. Flight boarding for flight 2007 to chicago. So i talked to my doctor and learned. Humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor. If youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections. Or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your doctor about humira. With humira, remission is possible. If you cant afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. If you cant afford your medicine, that gives me cash back onesome new aeverything. Akuten thats ebates. I get cash back on electronics, travel, clothes. Youre talking about ebates. I cant stop talking about rakuten. Pretty good deal peter sfx [blender] ebates is now rakuten, sign up today. When i wake up in the morning, im black. Throughout my day, im black. When i go to bed, im still black. You wont always know that im a police officer, because im not always at work. But you will always know that i am black. Now its time to make sure that there is change, because the world is watching. Youre looking at live pictures out of long island, new york. President trump just getting in the limo there after marine one landed. He had been coming of course hes been at his Golf Property in bedminster, new jersey, which is where he spoke earlier and signed those executive orders. And then the president now making his way out to long island to the Tony Hamptons area, which likely youve heard of, where he will be attending two fundraisers tonight for his campaign. The president arriving now in southampton. Meantime, we have been following a number of events today, including the sturgis motorcycle rally. The 80th annual, and theres concern about the Ripple Effect outside of this town of 7,000 people where that is located. San antonio mayor is joining us now. Mr. Mayor, we know people come from all over the country every year. A quarter of a million people. Our reporters have seen license plates from pennsylvania, from texas. Theres talk of what could happen afterwards, what may be bringing what back with them. Is that a concern for you that maybe some folks in the san antonio area may have gone to sturgis and could be bringing Something Back to texas . We know that gatherings anywhere right now are risky because of the spread of the virus pretty much all over this country. One of the things that the Public Health professionals have said consistently is that crowds are to be avoided. So if youre going out of state and bringing it back, thats still a risk to the local community as well. In texas the department of state Health Services reporting today a sevenday covid19 Positivity Rate of nearly 19. 5 . Its the highest sevenday average for a Positivity Rate since the pandemic began. What do you think needs to be done to stop this, to bring that number down . Well, we need to buckle down. Its especially important right now in the month of august because everyone is itching to get back to school. But if the virus is promulgating so quickly and so widely in the state of texas as we get closer to the labor day weekend, it puts us in the crosshairs for a significant problem when schools open here towards the end of the month. Weve had local Public Health orders in place now that have been a little bit confused by state leadership that are advising people not to go to schools in person until our Positivity Rate is closer or below 5 . And right now its about four times that. And even more in some of the urban areas of the state. We know thats been an issue over the last couple of months as weve checked in with you about the conflicting messages at Different Levels in your state. Texas Governor Greg Abbott now extending the states disaster declaration for covid19. What does that do for you . Does that help or change anything in terms of what you can do in your city . Its a mixed bag because, number one, it allows us to be eligible for the reimbursements at the federal level, but the challenge with that is that the governors executive orders have preempted local authority in a number of areas that would allow us to have very localized responses to the outbreaks that were seeing. And thats a big challenge. Weve seen a very deadly june and july in texas. And it was in part because of these mixed messages and conflicting orders. Mayor, always appreciate you taking the time to join us, thank you. Thank you, erica. Lets take a closer look at the situation in texas. Dr. Peter hotuz is a dean at baylor in texas. One of the things we all appreciate when we speak to you is your honesty on this subject. So when you hear that sevenday Positivity Rate in texas, the highest since the pandemic began, 19. 41 , whats your reaction . Well, thanks, erica. You know whats happening here in texas is the number of new cases has reached a plateau, but its reached a plateau at a screaming level. You know, were looking at, for instance, in houston around 1,800, 1,500 confirmed new cases a day which really means around 5,000 to 6,000 new cases a day. So even though it doesnt seem to be accelerating and going up, you cannot live a normal life with 6,000 new cases a day in houston and similar numbers across the metro areas of texas and suburban areas, so the quality of life here really goes downhill. It means that you simply cannot open schools safely, you cannot open colleges safely. And we need to go those next steps to start bringing it back down in texas. This is also true across the southern states. Things are accelerating in mississippi, louisiana. Its really bad. It is really bad. You said we may need to lock down again in some areas, but not every area. I wonder, though, as we look at this virus, we all know very well it certainly does not respect state lines. So the virus sdendoesnt reallye whats locked down, whats not. If we go to a patchwork lockdown again, what does that get us if its not a consistent move nationwide . Well, it gets us to exactly where were heading which is around 300,000 deaths by december 1, according to the institute of Health Metrics in seattle and maybe 400,000 deaths by the time of the inauguration, which is the number of americans killed in world war ii. So we need to take ownership of this and implement a federal plan by which we bring every state to containment by october. Ive put out an october 1 plan where we can do this. Its not that hard actually. Some states are already there, like in new england, for instance, Northern New England especially. But other parts of the country have a lot of work to do. The point is, its all doable if we have leadership at the white house that tells us we need to do this. You know, we didnt see any of that mentioned or addressed obviously in the executive orders today. The financial concerns are real and they need to be addressed. But, you know, as we heard, i would have liked to have seen an executive order that deals with the medical issues, that deals with the ppe, that deals with testing. The reality of that, what would it change . Well, the problem with this is this is death by a thousand cuts. What its doing is just dragging out the pandemic. So in aggregate, this has a much more detrimental effect on the economy than if we would just bite the bullet, shut down what we needed to in the country with a unified plan to bring every state to the same level by october. Then we can open up everything again and we have the Public Health infrastructure to do the tracing. You cant even do Contact Tracing meaningfully in a place like houston if you have 6,000 new cases a day. How do you do that . And many other places across the south. So by the white house by their actions just drawing this out and refusing to take appropriate leadership steps is ensuring not only that our economy will continue to falter, it will also affect Homeland Security as schoolteachers dont feel safe going to work, as many people dont feel safe going outside. And that really erodes the morale of the nation. So theyre doing it in the worst possible way. Dr. Peter hotez, appreciate it as always. Thank you. Thank you. As dr. Hotez just mentioned and as you likely know, there are a number of teachers concerned about returning to classrooms this year. If the students do come back into the building, its really like a 90 chance right now that im probably going to end up resigning to make sure that my personal babies are safe.

Thats just one of the signs at a protest organized by teachers in georgias Largest School district who say they dont feel comfortable rurceturning to the classroom considering the states surging case numbers and without classes in session, more than 260 employees in that same district are in quarantine because they either tested positive or were in contact with someone who did. Heres natasha chen. [ horns honking ] reporter teachers are sounding the alarm over georgias Largest School districts new plan to phase in facetoface instruction later in august after starting with all virtual classes next week. It seems like standardized test scores matter a whole lot to this county. But covid test scores dont seem to matter enough. Reporter teachers honked from inside their cars outside of atlanta this week as a socially distant protest, in contrast to the one organized by some parents two weeks ago in the same spot calling for facetoface instruction. A district spokesperson said their difficult decisions will not be popular with everyone, but say theyre committed to students health, safety and education. It seems if they keep making decisions, milquetoast decisions that placate different parties without considering we need consistency and bold leadership. Reporter troy powell teaches second grade students who would be back in the classroom at the end of august but no one has given her any detailed plans of what that looks like. Ill be teaching children on top of Teaching Online children too, so i have three jaukobs. A mom, a classroom teacher and online teacher. Reporter her own children are allowed to go with her to work but she said its not i del since they have asthma. This is not well thought out at all. Reporter the fears are real. With about 260 employees already testing positive or in quarantine before school has started. In cherokee county, 260 students and 8 teachers are quarantined after several people tested positive during the first week of school. In effingham county, one person tested positive resulting in an entire class sent home. And this image resulted in a suspension, then a reversal of that suspension for the student who posted it on social media. This is some good and necessary trouble, so i dont regret posting this because its it needed to be said. Reporter waters said she was concerned for everyones safety. The superintendent sent a letter to families saying crowding in between classes for five minutes may happen in a school with more than 2,000 students. And theyre complying with state guidelines. This kind of anxiety is what gwinnett teachers say keeps them up at night. Even though Nicole Conway loves her job and her students. If the students do come back into the building, its like a 90 chance right now that im probably going to end up resigning to make sure that my personal babies are safe. Reporter natasha chen, cnn, suwanee, georgia. One teacher has resigned. Ashley newman is a fifth grade teacher. Her school refused, though, to grant her request to work from home despite the fact some students are starting the year virtually. Ashley, appreciate you being with us. What made you decide that you were not comfortable being in the classroom . You know, for me personally, it came down to my 4yearold daughter. But i really want to take this time to focus on how the rest of the teachers who are stuck in this imposition right now are feeling. I have spoken consistently to teachers all around the county. In fact 18 schools. Teachers have reported that there have been cases where either people have been exposed or they have been positive cases, so people are under quarantine. This is not public knowledge, and thats a problem. We have to be transparent. And in terms of transparency for you personally, what you experienced in Gwinnett County, was it there, was it lacking . What have the conversations been for you even leading up to this point . Absolutely. So on july 20th we were given a move to digital instruction notice. Every employee in the county received this notice and it said there would be a workathome option because they knew there would be obstacles for many of us. Some of us its child care, some of us are immunocompromised. Ive talked to three who are going through chemotherapy and been denied the option to work from home. We also have parents of children who are immunocompromised, nicu babies were trying to keep safe. Were in a position right now where we really have to look out for one another. And if the teachers are not safe, then were really not going to have a community thats safe. One of the things that really was disheartening is that they retracted the option to work from home and it ended up being that they never explained why. They left it as an option of you can take leave or you can leave. And thats really not fair to the professionals and the educators in Gwinnett County. When we look at the measures being taken in other School Districts near you, i know you said some of them are being a little more transparent. Fulton county, for example, which includes the city of atlanta, they may have a better plan in place. We look at what happened at north palding high school. One of the things that stood out to me is the superintendent in response to what happened there talking about masks, which we hear so much about from the experts who say masks make a huge difference. The superintendent saying this is a really tough thing to enforce and so, therefore, we cant. I spent some time looking at their dress code this morning online, which by everything i read does get enforced. Do you think that going back to school has become more about the politics and less about the Public Health and safety . Absolutely. Were well above the 5 Positivity Rate at the moment, and thats not being considered. The plan that came out to phase students back in starting at the end of august and having all students in potentially by september 9th is leaving us in question because there is not a sing single ounce of data thats been provided to the public or educators that helps us understand why these decisions are being made. So were really at a position where were asking for answers, were asking for the data. Were being told that the cdc and Health Guidelines are being followed but were not seeing that happening. So the teachers that are still within Gwinnett County need this option to work from home because otherwise we are going to be like you said earlier in that Ripple Effect where it will affect the entire community. Before we let you go, whats your backup plan here . You resigned from your job, you have a 4yearold. What do you do now . My main priority is my 4yearold. Right after that is to advocate for these educators. I think they deserve people who are really there to speak up for them and show they are professionals. Remember in april and march we were talking about how educators were heroes. We need to get back to that place. Thats a great point. Full disclosure, as the daughter of an educator, its something that we should have been talking about a long time ago as well. Ashley newman, appreciate it. Please keep us posted. Will do, thank you. President trump has once again railed against voting by mail. How much power, though, does the president have when it comes to mailin voting in the states . Were going to break it all down for you next with cnn legal analyst elie honig. You are live in the cnn newsroom. [ thunder rumbles ] [ engine rumbling ] [ beeping ] [ engine revs ] uh, you know theres a 30minute limit, right . Tell that to the rain. [ beeping ] for those who were born to ride, theres progressive. [ beeping ] puts its customers a wiin charge . Rier well, the good news gets shared. And it gets rated 1 for customer satisfaction. But dont just take our word for it. Take theirs. Its your wireless. Your rules. Only with xfinity mobile. Call, click or visit a store today. As the country closes in on 5 million confirmed cases of coronavirus and more states opt for mailin ballots, President Trump is doing everything he can to sow mistrust in a vote by mail election. They even want to force states to implement the controversial practice known as ballot harvesting, very dangerous practice, meaning they would allow Democrat Party operatives to deposit thousands and thousands of completed ballots at the post Office Without any verification of who filled them out. Including a verification of signatures on the ballot so youre not even going to have a verified signature. Anybody, i could sign it, you could sign it, anybody in this room could sign it. And thats going to count as a vote. How can you do a thing like this . So this is what theyre asking for. This is what nancy pelosi and crying Chuck Schumer are asking for. Okay . Its ridiculous. Just to be clear, that was not actually in the democrats proposal. Joining us is cnn legal analyst elie honig. Nice to see you, my friend, its been a long time. You too, erica. As we look at this, theres a viewer who asked can trump issue an executive order eliminating or limiting the use of mailin ballots . Can he do that . Yeah, erica, so the short answer is no. We got a lot of viewer questions about this this week. People are concerned about being able to vote safely in the age of coronavirus. But no, the president does not have the power on his own to limit or eliminate mailin ballots. The constitution and our laws are clear. The power there lies with congress and the states. Congress sets the date for the general election, and states generally are in charge of the manner of voting, including the use of mailin votes. So despite the rhetoric, the president really has essentially no legal power over how voting is conducted. Even an executive order would accomplish nothing here. Executive orders apply only to the executive branch of the federal government. They do not bind the states, they do not bind congress. That doesnt mean the president wont be fighting against mailin ballots. For example, this week the Trump Campaign filed a lawsuit trying to stop the state of nevada from sending acty ballots to all registered voters. So there are important legal ballo battles ahead but theyll be decided by the courts and not president ial decree. When we look at the ongoing probe into the president s business dealings, one viewer is asking how likely is it that the manhattan district attorneys investigation of the trump organizations financial dealings will result in state level criminal charges . Yeah, so theres still lots we dont know, erica. But the skies certainly are darkening around the trump organization. We learned that the d. A. s investigation goes beyond those hush money payments made to two women right before the 2016 election. Thats important, because under new york law those charges relating to the hush money payments, theyre fairly low level and difficult to prove, but we now know the d. A. s focus is on other types of fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud. Theres been reporting and public testimony that what the trump org would do, they would falsely inflate or deflate the value of their assets. If that proof is there, that is tex textbook fraud. The kind of thing prosecutors do and charge all the time. Theres a lot more to come here but the developments this week are bad news for the trump org. This relates to another development this week. Does congress have the legal power to force don mcgahn or any witness from the white house to testify, elie . So this one goes back and forth, back and forth. Now were back at yes. As a reminder last year the house subpoenaed mcgahn, the white house tried to block it. The district upheld the subpoena and the court of appeals said no, courts cant get involved in this subpoena battle. We talked about how that decision was wrong and likely would not stand. Yesterday the entire court of appeals went back the other way and said, yes, the house can subpoena don mcgahn, they can subpoena the executive branch and, yes, courts can enforce those subpoenas. Its an important decision. I think its the right decision because it restores the proper balance of powers, checks and balances between congress and the white house. Oh, the balance of power, checks and balances. Separation of powers. Yes. As we mentioned earlier, we were talking about voting. As you said, the president can sign an executive order. What that would do, who knows. Well, he did sign four executive orders earlier today. He said on friday, though, denied today that he said it. But said yeah, i might get sued over this. There could be some legal action. What can he actually do looking at these executive orders without congress approval, because, again, congress controls the purse strings. Well, hes right about this, there will be litigation. You will see lawsuits challenging these executive orders. I see two big problems. One, as you said, congress controls the taxation power and an executive order does not apply to congress. Its right in the name, executive order, only applies to the executive branch. Second, executive orders dont binds the states. Part of what the president signed today requires the states to pick up a part of the cost, a part of the tab. That is just not going to fly in court. Elie honig, always appreciate it. Good to see you, thank you. Thanks, erica. Millions of americans are part of the gig economy working a number of parttime jobs. I dont really feel like theres a lot of people doing the gigs just for extra money. It is usually some type of essential situation. I got you.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic triggered an economic downturn, more people were trying to meet ends meet. This week, w. Kamau bell takes us to austin, texas, and show cases those people who have taken on side gigs all in attempt to just keep up with their bills. Heres a preview. This is scary. You bring me brown bananas. I try to keep away from the frozen items. Okay. Dont smush the chips though. Do you shop more carefully for other people than you do yourself . Absolutely. Im looking for damaged things i can get on sale. Can i freeze this . Ice cream. Make sure its sealed, nobodys licked it. Okay. Were done. Hello. Hi. How are you . Good. W. Kamau bell joins me now talking about gig workers. I never thought about checking to make sure someone had not licked the ice cream before. Someone is going to rate you based on how well you shopped, youre going to do all the things you dont do for yourself. This is just one of the jobs as we talk about the gig economy. For a long time theres been the sense of its a gig economy, people want more freedom and flexibility. The reality is people want to support themselves. Yeah, for a lot of gig workers its because their first job doesnt give them enough. People think its young adults who need extra cash for partying, but its family who is need enough money. Its not too that their real jobs and even adding up all these gig economy jobs dont pay them enough. A lot of time there are low uncertain wages with the part time jobs. But they also dont are the protections that a Fulltime Position has. They dont have the benefits that a salaried position would have. And that has a long term impact. Yeah, i think in the show we try to see gig work as a 21st idea, but really this country was bullet on people taking short term jobs to make quick cash hoping to build a better tomorrow. For the most part, that doesnt work for most americans. We talk to Domestic Workers, women in multilevel marketing. Tlts country theres a history of this idea you do this thing you can be your own boss and its generally not true. I know you look at the multilevel marketing jobs which are really targeted towards women and popular among women but im glad you brought up Domestic Workers. When we look at what a large part of the economy that is, these jobs fall to women of color, undocumented immigrants, and we are seeing so many people impacted right now because they cant work and the conditions they face when they are working can be really difficult. Yeah. I mean, i think the thing about a lot of Domestic Workers is a lot of them are undocumented, so they actually are in positions where they dont get the kind of gig protections or work protections that a gig worker would get. Its a lot harder to be a domestic worker, and youre a lot more vulnerable in this economy. Its an important look on your fantastic show. Im a huge fan. Im so glad its back for another season.
