Very usual citing off the coast of california in fact its so rare that we here at r t america wanted to get a birds eye view of the unexpected arrivals along the coastline youre looking at here exclusive drone footage of dozens of massive oil tankers sitting idle along the Pacific Coast with nowhere to go because these oil tankers have a gird due to the Global Demand for fuel collapsing all due to less driving and less flying as millions of americans are being forced to stay home during this coronavirus pandemic r. T. Correspondent natasha sweet is a long beach with a story. With people flying and driving last the oil industry is taking a. As you can see there are dozens of oil tankers up the coast here in Southern California but the line of work that was far north as San Francisco with simply no place to unload in this exclusive video youre looking at 20000000. 00 barrels of oil floating off the west coast roughly 3 dozen ships scattered throughout the waters from long beach to San Francisco with nowhere to go as facilities for storing crude are nearly full these tankers are acting as floating storage for oil these oil tankers up and down the california coast are carrying roughly 20 percent of the worlds daily consumption of crude with stay at home orders lingering for almost 2 months the need for oil has sharply declined and across the country Oil Storage Facilities are at their capacity which is why oil has been pushed on to takers to float out at sea pumps are still running extracting oil from the ground and all that oil has to go somewhere so brokers were betting that storage would be more valuable than oil next month leading some on monday to pay potential buyers to take it off their hands Marathon PetroleumCorporation Refinery in martinez california has been idle chevrons also going to refinery has cut back on their process seen as well oiled gain ground in Financial Markets wednesday and thursday more than 40 percent after reaching record lows on tuesday u. S. Benchmark crude was trading as low as 650. 00 a barrel tuesday more than 80 percent lower than the start of the year however oil strength over the last few days has done little to make up for crude enormous 75 percent loss this year there coronavirus pandemic has drained about a 3rd of Global Demand with so many refineries here in california the big question is when will they stay at home borders be lifted noticed by california being past the peak of coburg 19 cases governor gavin newsom saying today that he still cannot give an exact date as to when things will get back to normal or portman and long beach to touch a sweet r. T. There is no doubt the u. S. Economy is in peril the latest unemployment numbers are out bringing the total. Number of americans out of work to 26000000 meantime Many Americans are still waiting for their government stimulus checks to arrive all the while there are reports now that dead people have already gotten theirs. Is joining us in studio shes been following the story so far and how i dont fill me in here how is this even possible dead people getting checks all right so on the surface it looks really bad but theres actually a whole thing going on here and what that is is that dead people yes again have already gotten their stimulus check the government has even admitted to this happening but its a double edged sword because the i. R. S. Is trying to send out these payments as quickly as possible as everybody is suffering but each state keeps track of death records which are that are reported to the i. R. S. But while the coronavirus is killing tens of thousands of people theres obviously going to be a time lag and that is ultimately another. Boy do we know how many how many deceased people have received money so we do not know that number right now but we do know that the i. R. S. Has issued 80000000 payments and ultimately some 170000000 people will be getting paid but unfortunately this is not the 1st time that weve seen this little fiasco happened back in 2009 during the Great Recession we had 52000000 people they got a check for 250. 71 of those people were dead which was a good 17000000 dollars and one percent of those payments given out now you do have President Trump saying that you know hey sometimes you give the bad check to you give a check to the wrong person were going to try to take it back but then you have a legal experts monella saying that if you were alive when this stimulus plan passed and then you die legally you are entitled to that check so it would go to next of kin maybe possibly this is all New Territory fair and so ok since were on the subject subject of checks there are alive people that are also not getting their checks so what about those unemployment numbers so it is not looking good at all the dow jones actually predicted that last week there were. Before 3000000 new jobs are new unemployment claims it was actually little higher than that 4400000 now you can see by looking here at this chart the only good news is that last week there was a decline of 810000 but that still its 4400000. 00 that is would be the equivalent to everyone in the entire city of chicago and phoenix filing for unemployment now the department of labor comes out with their new rate calculation in 2 weeks but its projected to be around 23 percent the rate during the Great Depression was 24 percent of the grand total over the past 5 weeks 26500000 this has protesters continuing to take to the streets in some states not following the social distancing roles and calling for the country to get back to work arguing that these stay at home orders are destroying the economy by employers look up those go and those up are stored in the capital working were struggling because we dont have the other one im looking to home with family members that i know that have been impacted. Their business on the range interesting story longer so i have friends and neighbors and businesses gone there daryn theres a lot of businesses of them out be able to you know. Now the house is expected to vote and approve the 484000000000. 00 Coronavirus Relief bill which the Senate Passed on tuesday so its now the house that will be sending it over to the president s desk which president has promised to quickly sign it now this bill is geared toward Small Businesses and hospitals and another big ad is the 25000000000. 00 for coronavirus testing in manila this bill follows a similar one approved the last week however that one actually ran out of money so fast it was scooped up mainly by restaurant chains and National Hotels so that resulted in this latest bill having to be put forth through the house still a lot going on there aaron friends i thank you for filing that report.

John hardy. All right so are the anti quarantine protesters getting their fair shake among Media Outlets to discuss that next and then over at sports regina hamm shares how one volleyball star found a way to keep up his training and all it took a little creativity. Back. With good reason Public Discourse is focused on addressing and finally each containing the coping 1000. 00 pandemic is now the focus is on devastated economies were in a recession will it be off into a depression will the recovery be a u. D. Or an elf. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallowness. Across the country protests are popping up demanding local governments reopen their communities signs saying all jobs are essential becoming a trend crowd saying. They dont want to handout but they do want their jobs back the coverage of these protests are viewed very differently depending on where your politics align so here to expand on this is Ruben Navarrette he is a syndicated columnist at the daily beast the Washington Post and a whole number of other outlets ruben good to see you so lets operate in it seems that the overwhelming majority of these protests and you know like lansing michigan phoenix arizona other cities are white truck supporters do you think that is an accurate assessment or is the media somehow skewing what were seeing out there. Bill because you thanks for having me i think it is an accurate assessment as follows if you are probusiness pro commerce if you believe that the restrictions or too much and that we all need to go back to work then you are more likely to be in the trump camp than the anti trump camp those are Trump Supporters those are republicans or conservatives it doesnt change the fact that this is impacted by the fact that you have many democratic governors like Governor Cuomo in new york and Governor Newsom here in california whove taken the lead in imposing some of these restrictions so it does kind of become a blue and red issue in that regard so i think if you characterize these protesters as Trump Supporters and mostly white from supporters of that thats fair. And a lot of media though are chiding those folks condemning them for not keeping social distance not wearing their mass or what have you but is that a distraction if they are they missing the point of these protests. You hear of agree with you i think it is not fleshed out enough what is it the bothers me personally when i see protesters going around without masks heres what it is i have a set of concerns people who believe in these restrictions and dont want to open up the economy have a set of concerns and it comes to spreading germs and the very fact these people could be so dismissive of our concerns that they would protest without masks on. Really tells you where our politics is broken down i dont mind at the protesting i dont mind they have their signs that they have their point of view but it would help their cause a great deal i think if they at least pretended to take seriously the concerns of the 60 percent of americans who in a recent poll by the a. P. Said that they thought the restrictions were just right yeah there are several states where a lot of these governors are are pulling a lot higher than even President Trump during this time so that i mean thats i guess up for debate again depending on where your political views a lie and speaking of republicans the republican georgia governor brian cab was entertaining the idea of just basically for being the light switch on getting everything back to normal as a pig you know because people need their massages and their manicures and their haircut but even President Trump weighed in on that and said whoa hold your horses but you know ultimately he said its going to be up to the states so where is the fine line when leadership is giving mixed signals. Youre right the optics are not good right georgia decides it wants to open up the economy it says th
