April showers and a whole lot more. Heavy downpours moved through this morning. When we can see some severe storms move in. Later today. Shes a six Year Old Girl who loved to dance. Now, that future is in jeopardy, after a rare case of strep throat forces doctors to amputate her leg. In the 28 years that ive been teaching dance, this is the most devastating thing weve had to go through. Her case is just one of several reported across the country. The warnings signs do you not want to ignore. A reverend ripoff. A clergy member accused of stealing more than half Million Dollars from the archdioces. How authority say he used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle. Pepsi new ad fizz z out, why pepsi pulling its controversial commercial starring Kendall Jenner just hours after defending it. Good day, so we have people weighing in whether it is a crick in your neck, crook in your next. A lot of people are saying it is a crick in your neck, from donna rockwell, but serena has good theory, i tho
News, the u. S. Death toll tonight topping 200,000. Just a short time ago the president addressing the tragic threshold. Well, i think its a shame. I think if we didnt do it properly and do it right, you would have 2. 5 million dead. But its a horrible thing. Should have never ever happened. China let this happen. The original numbers were around 200,000 if you do it right. If you did a good job and the public worked along. If you didnt do it right, you would be at 2 million, 2. 5 million. Those were the numbers. But this should have never happen. This should have never come out of china. They should have never let it happen. The president seizing the moment to praise himself. And i dont need to go through again with you the factual comparisons of places like south korea, right, that show his praise to be factually wrong, right, in terms of the death. Because it isnt just that he is factually wrong. It is that every one of these people was alive nearly seven months ago. Every one of th
Coronavirus pandemic. At least 248 more deaths reported today and the United States now has the second most cases of coronavirus in the world, second only to china where infections were counted months earlier than the u. S. 81,300 americans are infected. Despite warnings from Health Officials that it may be too soon. People want to go back to work. I am hearing it loud and clear from everybody. I think it will happen pretty quickly. A lot of progress is being made but we have to go back to work. We may take large sections of our country that are not so seriously affected. That is part of a plan the president sent to governors with new distancing guidelines based on where you live and how the vi risk is ascertained based upon that, high risk, medium risk, low risk counties for levels of social distancing. You can imagine what many of the difficulties in the plan may be including this one. What is to prevent someone from a high risk county going to a low risk county . That is why we real
Seeing increase in infections. The president not leading on this. Today the only tweet was this tired claim, cases go up because of great testing, in caps. Of course this puts us in the position of having to explain again that that is not the reason that cases are going up. And we could show that to you many ways, but ill stick with this one. At least 7 states are seeing record hospitalizations this week according to the washington post. Obviously thats not because of testing. Take california alone, hospitalizations there up a third, 32 , in just the past two weeks because of coronavirus. Thats not because of testing, right . In texas theyre stopping elective surgeries because they need to have more space for people coming in the hospital because of coronavirus. What is true is from the start of the pandemic the president has not offered clear, concise leadership. Weve been a broken record here. He wont wear masks when masks save lives. He wants to cut funding in testing sites of state
In the country the president s top economic adviser had this to say. I dont believe theres systemic racism in the u. S. Im not going to go into a long rift on it. [ inaudible question ] i do not. You dont believe theres any systemic racism against africanamericans in the United States . I will say it again, i do not. This despite the massive protests that have been taking place across the country for more than two weeks. Live pictures. This is new york you happen to be looking at here. Heres what weve seen protests, people motivated to go out in every state from coast to coast, red states, blue states, cities, towns, look at these pictures. Americans making it clear that systemic racism is an issue that they feel needs to be addressed. And yet trump and his team are out of touch with that. I think theres racism in the United States still but i dont think that the Law Enforcement system is systemically racist. I do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with Law Enforcement of
