2:16 am

2:18 am
pelosi has been about since she became speaker. all about concentrating power into the hands of fewer and fewer people whether it is house resolution one where they dictate to the states how to do in elections or her running and impeachment for 30 days before she even had the vote of the house, socialism, about concentrating power in the hands of fewer and fewer people, that is tear any, that is what they are about. >> thank you for your time, we appreciate it. 18 after the hour. two parties with polar opposite plans to get the economy moving. >> our next guest is a former appointment opportunities championed by americans, not unemployment incentives pushed by the left. we are coming right back. we urgently need your help. who are so precious to god, have no access to food, medicine; or to keep themselves safe from the virus. and right now, we must take extraordinary measures

rob: as america tries to pull itself out of this economic hole left by covid-19 the trump administration is where back to work bonus. >> and that if you can place the sixth the dollars of the federal benefit for people on unemployment, take ordered $50 a week with you to work, that means that you would be making a little bit more in the workforce than you would be on unemployment. >> the gop plan pushes back on extended unemployment benefits being pushed by house democrats, paying people more to stay home. what is the best approach to handle this pandemic? joining me is director of the rover harmon center for the federal budget. it is two completely different proposals. who do you think is right? >> the unemployment insurance bonus was misguided to begin with and we are in from a lot of
2:23 am
businesses that they are having trouble now that parts of america are reopening, getting workers to come back to work because the unemployment in many cases is paying workers more than they were making when they were working but the solution is not to push a proposal that pays people to come back to work by federal taxpayers, that is trying to neutralize a bad policy with another bad policy which will backfire. it is unfair for essential workers who have to work through this entire pandemic. we should be rewarding. people are suffering but we shouldn't pay people more to be unemployment then they were making when they were employed. they should have capped the benefit as many senators were trying to do, no more than 100% of wages, that is a simple way to help workers without distorting the incentive and without prolonging this recession. most people are ready to go back to work. todd: at the beginning this got
2:24 am
pointed out very early on we found the problem and they never fixed it and it has become an issue. 38.6 million people filed for unemployment during this pandemic. one more piece of information, this is what the houses past run by democrats, unemployment benefits, this was a very expensive bill in the trillions of dollars, they want to extend at $600 a week unemployment benefit through january 30 first 2021 and look at the other money they are trying to spend, they are trying to reopen the economy so we don't have to spend all this money we don't have. how do you get people who make 10-$15 an hour excited about going back to work when they are making more sitting at home? >> we calculated roughly half of the american workforce can make more by staying at home on unemployment then going back to work. that is really bad policy and it will prolong the recession and slow the recovery which and the end will hurt the entire country
2:25 am
as our economy slows to a grind. what can we do? this policy expires at the end of july. lawmakers could repeal it sooner but there are other things congress can do like providing liability exemptions to businesses that reopen and for their workers to follow cdc guidelines and get the economy going again and with the paycheck protection program those businesses are supposed to hire workers back by the end of june but an additional month of unemployment benefits, the administration could provide flexible for those businesses so they don't get stuck in that gap. rob: protecting those businesses, that is what mitch mcconnell wants to do, so you don't get hit by lawsuits by people who might catch covid-19 when they come back to work. the mayor talking about the fiscal crisis he is seeing in the worldwide epicenter of this
2:26 am
pandemic. >> we are in a fiscal crisis in the city and we have spent so much time, energy, heart, soul and money fighting the coronavirus often alone without the help of our federal government. it should be the responsibility of the federal government first and foremost to address this. todd: what do you make of that? >> the city has been struck by this virus but they are receiving billions of dollars in federal government aid to fight covid-19. $6 billion in total is a lot of money. what the city once and the governor has been pushing for his unrestricted aid to help shore up unaffordable and corrupt pension plans the city has made with its union. that is unfair to taxpayers and other states. the federal government should not bail out states or cities
2:27 am
like new york, covid-19 related aid was sent to the city which they are making use of, that was a good thing to do. that is the end of it. there is no bail out for fiscally bad policies. todd: we appreciate your time. jillian: captured. the connecticut college student wanted for a double murder now under arrest in maryland, live outside the jail just hours before he faces a judge. cooperation with ice could land you behind bars, a ridiculous change in the lawmaker felony for law enforcement to work with law enforcement. retired i started tom homan joins us with calls for donald trump to intervene. and responds to your body... ...so you get deep, uninterrupted sleep. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, all tempur-pedic mattresses are on sale!

2:34 am
todd: the law without a veneration from is agencies, licenses to illegal immigrants and tom homan urging donald trump to sue the state of new york over this escalation. the retired ice director and author of defend the border and save lives joins us to explain. i can only imagine what you make of this new law. >> i am angry, as someone born and raised in new york and a police officer in new york, family in new york, what governor cuomo has done is made new york less safe, made the country less safe. the old saying 9/11, never forget, apparently he has forgotten. the 9/11 commission made a lot of recommendations and he is gone against them. the green law, the real id act was an accident 2005 on the heels of 9/11 to make sure we know who people are. second of all the 9/11 commission, law enforcement needs to work for law enforcement, trade intelligence, trade information.
2:35 am
he has ignored that and made it a felony for new york state law enforcement officers to share information with ice. how soon they forgot. jillian: take a look at this amendment, in april of 2020. any person or entity the receiver has access to information shall not use it for civil liberation, or information to an agency that primarily enforces immigration law or any employee, violation of such certification shall be a class e felony. and authorizing manipulative motor vehicles to issue standard drivers licenses and restrict what information can be obtained on those applying or holding standard drivers licenses. make anything of the timing of this.
2:36 am
>>, and they are making a felony for law enforcement work with law enforcement. the 9/11 hijackers, three actual hijacks overstay their visa. why would you prevent the men and women of ice whose job is to enforce immigration law, anybody in this country illegally, what is the downside on that? keeping the station safe and thank god we have a president who will push back because he is shown over and over he cares about the safety and security of this nation. todd: i am trying to understand what percentage of americans think this is a good idea. is a political pandering to the
2:37 am
far left wing, what is he trying to do here? >> it is politics. >> the safety and security of new yorkers are us citizens, to prevent law enforcement to share viable information with law enforcement. we took 5000 off the streets of new york. and protecting that state and country. you would think the governor would send a thank you letter, rather than vilifying and keeping information to make their job harder and makes the greater risk than harm. jillian: keep us updated. rob: we appreciate it. the historic space x launch postponed, just about 17 minutes before liftoff. jillian: preventing the first manned mission to space from us soil in nearly a decade. it was rescheduled for saturday.
