In farmington, concerned about Social Security . Thank you for that question. Retireainer deserves to with dignity in our state. That means we have to do more to protect and strengthen Social Security and medicare. One of the best ways we can strengthen Social Security is by growing our economy. Wage, ande minimum im the only candidate who supports that, we will pour billions into our system. When we achieve equal pay for equal work when women in the Second District are only receiving . 78 on the dollar we can cut the shortfall in Social Security. When it comes to medicare we need to do common sense things, like i have done in the state legislature. We saved medicaid 4 million a year by allowing generic drug use. If medicare were allowed to negotiate Prescription Drug prices like the v. A. We would save billions. Those are the common sense approaches i will bring to the table. Third question, from ron. First, Bruce Poliquin. He writes, the United States trade representative is currentl
But its true what you know yourself. The results are getting longer and longer. Over a week even longer in too many places. This president offers no plan to increase our ability to test and trace. He says he wants schools to reopen in a week in some places and offers no plan to help them do it and to help them keep schools open. Opening them is easy. Keeping them open will be hard. How do we keep our kids safe . How do we keep the teachers safe . Nothing. Thats tonedeaf. His white house is right. Schools are like essential places of business. So why dont they treat them that way . Make a plan. Hashtag where is the plan . States are asking for help all over the country. You hear them on this show. Theyre getting none. Why . He has waited so long to act that now more 150 Prominent Health experts are saying its too late. They dont think we should be open in any way right now. 150 of them say we need to shutdown again and start over as the only way to get us back. And yes, i will argue aga
Good morning, it is august 29th, im ali velshi. Peaceful protests continued overnight in kenosha, wisconsin, following the Police Shooting of jacob blake jr. The 29yearold black man was shot seven times by an officer. State officials have said that blake had told police he had a knife in his car and the knife was in fact recovered from the car but they have not offered any clear information on how or whether that knife had anything to do with police attempts to detain blake or the decision to shoot him in the back seven times. A lawyer for blakes family has said that blake was not carrying a knife and that he posed no threat to police. Its just the latest in the summer of racial reckoning that featured nationwide protests following the killing of george floyd. Blakes father demanding justice for his son, who though paralyzed, according to his family, was shackled to his bed in the hospital. Once they didnt succeed killing him, well, now we got to besmirch him. So they came up with the
Coronavirus treatment. This is something thats already been administered to about 70,000 americans and as the Washington Post points out, quote, many scientists and physicians believe that convalescent plasma might provide some benefit but far from a breakthrough. Its rich in antibodies to be effective in fighting the coronavirus but the evidence is not conclusive on whether it works, when to administer and what dose is needed. The president praised Co Commissioner steven hann accusing the deep state in hopes they wouldnt be ready in time for the election. Steven, thank you because the fda stepped up over the last few days in getting this done. The results have been incredible. What a difference a day makes. The Washington Post also reports that quote, the announcement comes as trump has put extraordinary pressure on federal agencies to test and improve treatments and especially a vaccine against the Novel Coronavirus which has already killed more than 170,000 americans and here is the
Reductions of a number of demonstrators, the dialogue would move forward with the constitution and elections. Obviously, general cc decided not to pursue that and rejected it and decided to use force as we saw today. In the last few days. With apache helicopters overhead, flying nothing is more symbolic of the United States of america siding with the generals. We have no credibility. We do have influence, but when you dont use that influence, then you do not have that influence. We could be cutting off the aid, the spare parts and maintenance of this military equipment that we have given the egyptians is important to their capabilities. Assistance,nomic business, the imf loan many areas where we could exercise influence over the generals, and we are not doing any of it, and we are not sticking to our values. I agree with the president that the people of egypt have to decide their own future and this bloodshed, the violence in the street, has to stop. The practical reality is that most
