Had just begun to reignite a National Discussion around policing. Our country has confronted what feels like several years worth of evil in just three month, how to safely reopen. Schools and universities trying to plan for the fall. Healthcare professionals and essential workers are continuing to man their posts, help strangers and keep our country going. Peaceful protesters continued to express outrage over the killings of black americans in the Nations Police officers. Overwhelmingly good, decent and brave people put everything on the line for their neighbors and continue to faithfully serve under trying circumstances. These are the kinds of challenges our nation should meet with unity like when the senate road past a historic cares act unanimously in march. Unfortunately on some corners of the country our nations Strategic Reserve of sanity appears to have run a little low. We have seen peaceful protests hijacked by violent riots, apparently the best way to argue against a Strong P
So im going to start with a few housekeeping announcements. First of all, the president s annual physical results are ready for release. The full memo will be released shortly. In summary, the president remains healthy. Also, id like to congratulate the winners of last nights primary elections. President trump has now endorsed candidates and has a 640 record.

Protection program and businesses of all sizes have started to use the tax tools that we provided for their liquidity. But in that time the critics have also done what they do best. They criticize. The need came has seized on an opportunity to perpetuate every negative story that critics can manufacture. You can imagine my surprise when democrats criticized the net operating loss carryback provisions in the cares act.
