Host crystal Williams Joins us now. After a busy week after dealing with the situation on the border in congress, i want to start with this plan that was passed last night by House Republicans and get your reaction. Guest yeah. Well, the house passed it and thats the beginning and end of it. The funding is, first of all, inadequate and second of all in the wrong place. Its basically military and Law Enforcement funding in response to a humanitarian situation and that just seems very misplaced. What it doesnt do is provide Adequate Funding to take care of the children while theyre waiting for their hearings. Nor does it provide Adequate Funding to provide the hearing. Congress has already starved the Immigration Court system of resources and with this additional strain on the court system, its going to starve its all the more. So its just wrong funding. And then on top of the wrong funding is wrong policy. There is a statute in place, the trafficking statute from 2008 that provides appr
That is something i have been working on and committed to for decades. We saw similar problems back in the 1980s, when i served on a workforce Training Commission organized by the Wt Grant Foundation and the National Center for the economy. The problems have grown more complex as the economy has changed. Nearly 6 million young people are out of school and out of work. That is almost one in every six. For young people of color, things are even harder. If you do not have a College Degree or did not graduate from high school, most stores are not open, no matter how hard you not. Think about what that means. It is not just about missing a paycheck or going without benefits, like health care, when young people cannot find work, they miss out on a crucial period of personal and professional growth that reverberates for decades in lower wages and lost opportunities. Those first jobs i certainly remember my first job that is where you learn skills, even if it is just showing up on time. That i
For bill barr. Well explain there has been a lot of development theres. But we begin right now with a virus whistleblower against the Trump Administration speaking out under oath. You may remember when this story first broke. Well were hearing quotes, we were hearing a little bit of clipped audio. But now for the first time the americans can take this in. The congress can take it in. Dr. Bright alleging he was retall yalted against an lost his job in the middle of the pandemic all because he says he questioned donald trump, and he says donald trump put politics and cronyism over saving lives. The doctor tested about the internal warning he issued amidst this pandemic. Our window of opportunity is closing. I fear the pandemic will get worse. There will likely a resurgence of covid19. The virus is still spreading everywhere. Nurses are rushing in the hospitals thinking theyre protected and theyre not. Our stockpile is insufficient. They didnt have a plan. A number of excuses. But never a
Officially out of prison. Youre looking at him walking out with a newfound freedom with his mask, going into his home. The great maya wiley is here tonight. Were going get into all of that. But we do begin, as mentioned, in michigan. Here are the fax. Over 50,000 there have coronavirus. And like many other states, and frankly like Donald Trumps own cdc, the official guidance there is people have to wear a mask when they are at enclosed public spaces. And this is already teeing up a battle i guess fit for the summer of 2020. The president using today to make it all about publicly defying that guidance while also now offering a very trumpian defense. He is claiming he did wear a mask at one point, you just couldnt see it because he wasnt on camera. I wore one in this back area, but i didnt want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. Everybody has been tested and ive been tested. In fact, i was tested this morning. So its not necessary. I was given a choice, and i had one on in an a
Taken an oath to uphold the constitution. Stop being made all the time. We dont they Say Something nice. I think they need help. I really do. The clock is ticking down towards the august recess and republicans are ready and willing to move legislation to authorize a lawsuit against president obama. Right now on the house floor, debate is set to begin on speaker John Boehners lawsuit, one that accuses the president of abusing his powers by delaying the Affordable Care acts employer mandate, a mandate that the same house gop voted to delay alongside the attempts to reappeal all or part of the healthcare law. It is expected to give the lawsuit the greenlight in the next hour. Speaking in missouri this afternoon, the president had a few choice words about republican priorities. They have announced they are going to sue me for taking executive actions. To help people. Everybody recognizes this is a political stunt but its worse than that because every vote they are taking like that means a
