Caller we understand the layers of the obama and biden and clinton era and would like o see more, more come ut as far as the doj investigating into the layers of espionage against trump and anyone who did not deal with the democratic set up as far as obama care. We would like more investigations. We are fed up with the fighting in the streets and taking over our cities. Mayors and governors have sworn an oath to protect their citizens. Those of us are being laid aside those oaths are being laid aside for certain constituents own direction they want to take the country. Police reform needs to be done.

The coming up in the future due to this, and we will protect america and the constitution. In indiana. You mentioned obamacare, the Affordable Care act, a pretty Major Development yesterday on that front in the form of a new filing at the Supreme Court from the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration late last night urging the Supreme Court to strike down obamacare, pushing forward with its attack newly Health Care Law as jobless americans might become dependent on its coverage. In a new legal brief, arguing that the entire upper obamacare of obamacare became invalid the previous Republicanled Congress asked the unpopular mandate penalty for uninsured people. Filing comes weeks after President Donald Trump confirmed his administration would continue to press for obamacares elimination, and pouring warnings from top aides about the risk of voter backlash in november. That coming in the same week that House Democrats in veiled in new bill to tweak the Affordable Care act, so plenty more to watch on that front. The filing from the Supreme Court coming at the end of this term. We are waiting for about a dozen thes to be handed down by Supreme Court. Expectations that the term likely will stretch into july, the Supreme Court usually ending its term by the end of june, but with so many cases yet to be decided or handed down, likely the decision days will stretch into the coming weeks. Next, truth or consequences, new mexico, democrat. Good morning. Caller good morning. I would like to speak about definitions. Was watching trump and marionette, wisconsin it means puppet where they build what if you listen to he says, it seems like there are two versions of trump out there. There is what is called targeted marketing. That is where you sell something, but in order to sell something you want to target your market, so you can target it with positive messages or negative messages. You listen to trump when he goes rallies,pporters, his he is a completely different person when he goes to places where he doesnt like the populace. Hes very negative. You look at the response that he gets, and its what he is spreading. Spreads negativity or positivity, and you have to target your market. Now, he went to marionette, wisconsin, where they make the navy. Owntates there, in his words, that hes got an issue with democrats. Dislikes you know you just have to listen to what he says. Hesays plain and clear what is doing. You have to watch where he is going and what the effects are after he leaves. It is to our detriment that we believe him when he says one thing, and that we believe him when he says another thing. We need to open our eyes, we need to listen, we need to be very clear in what we do and the choices that we make, because isn you believe a liar who using targeted marketing and saying one thing to one group and one thing to another, it is not clear. Host for more from the president , as we said, he participated in a town hall of that with sean hannity of fox event withn hall hannitynity of sean of fox news. Heres the discussion about flareups of coronavirus in this country, and here is the president. [video clip] the greatest cases because we do them most testing. If we did not test, we would have no cases. Haveyou do 30 million, you a kid with the sniffles and they say it is coronavirus, whatever you want to college, i said the other night, there are so many names to this. You could say things like this, there has never been a thing like this. We have done 30 million almost we will be there today 30 million tests. But the deaths have been way, way down and our mortality rate is among the best countries in the world, meaning people that die, because a lot of cases, that case the kid does not even know. In some cases, it is people that did not even know they were sick. Maybe they were not, but it shows up in a test. 30 million tests, you have a big percentage of that, but other countries do very few test, so fewhows there are very cases. Sometimes i jokingly or sarcastically say, if we did not do tests, we would look great. Host President Trump last night at the fox news town hall. Your topking you what news story of this past week was. Let us know what you think or send us a tweet or text message, like jeffrey did out of georgia, saying as a georgian, the story of the week is that the General Assembly here passed a hate crimes bill. The sad reality is that it took the death of Ahmaud Arbery and george floyd to get that bill passed. We are waiting for the governor to sign it. Rob in new york city, democrat. What do you think the top story of the week was . Caller what i wrote down for the top story and i just had a thought in my head for some reason, that trump is always bragging he takes a dollar a year salary, but warren buffett, i believe, has given away 90 of his total assets. Given away 90 of his total bill andrgely to the Melinda Gates foundation. So it is ridiculous to brag about giving, taking a dollar a is, 1. 75,the salary , it is nothing. Warren buffett has given away 90 billion or something but with the coronavirus becoming, theing seemingly now, hospitals are near capacity and many southern states, Many Republican state, and it is becoming a crisis. It occurred to me that our president is not really capable of doing the work as president. I think his brain is not wired for doing the work. His brain is more wired for making up falsehoods, and i think he takes the easy way out. I think he is a master at pretending that he can do the work, but he cant do the work. Its a big stage act. I think it is a big tv reality show. Host do you think the president s task force can do the work cap do you trust dr. Redfield the work . Do you trust dr. Redfield, dr. Fauci . How do you think president has handled the coronavirus pandemic when it comes to the people he has appointed to these positions . Know, i like dr. Fauci but he does not speak simply and directly to the American People. It is always like a double sort , soeaning to please trump it is frustrating. You hear people on some of the other stations i had a republican friend of mine, a dear friend of mine who said to me recently and a phone conversation that he doesnt hear anything on the tv anymore about the coronavirus. And i realized, you glued to fox television. I said to my friend, you know, you really ought to turn on cnn for a half hour, on our. It is amazing, the lopsided nest. If you allow me one more pic thing, i am an experienced insurance investigator and i ink for close to 40 years new york city. Im a liberal, propolice democrat. About liberal democrats being against police, i am propolice i have had friends on the force. In my investigations, there are a lot of x Police Officers and oddly, exconvicts who work as bouncers in bars and clubs throughout new york city, and i have been the liability toestigator for decades, come in and find out after there is an incident at this might often the case that some of the liability, some of the five that i have investigated over the years has been the result of the tempers out of control on the part of the bouncers, which again, there are x cops and that work sidebyside sometimes in the same close. That is why i think george floyd name, sorry, i forgot the the fellow i believe they worked in the same club. Im sure they knew each other, and im sure there was some tension there. I have coached bouncers , that ex cops and excons your job is not necessarily to stand at the front door of the bar and check the ideas of the pretty girls or whatever that is not the job. The job is not to do the light stuff. I cannot tell you how many people have responded to me and told me, i have never been told this before, but what i told them, your job begins when the clients, when the customers, when the tensions rise from alcohol or whatever, your job is to come in and calm the people a drunko become customer might use the nword, might go crazy on the bouncer. Theres been countless times, investigations that ive had, again, close to 40 years feel like the training is there or not there when it comes to the escalation tactics to deescalation tactics . Caller i have told dozens of people when i have the time, sometimes i am doing is a slip and fall accident, sometimes i am talking to a bouncer who kept his cool, sometimes it could be a next cop excop, could be an excon, when the customer gets in your face and starts to go crazy on you, oftentimes it is just verbal stuff that can be deescalate it. City thisin new york morning. Rob started talking about the coronavirus and the President Task force. More fromittle bit that hearing earlier this week, dr. Anthony fauci on where we are, where he thinks we are going to be on the development of a vaccine for a coronavirus. [video clip] o
