with the coronavirus now officially declared a pandemic the world faces the additional burden of an oil market collapse this comes at a time when demand for crude was already some are calling this the ultimate perfect storm how this all. gets. greetings and sally you take. well my friends cope maintain is now officially a pandemic according to the world health organization and in response on the rising number of cases crisscrossing the united states as you would imagine our fearless

leaders on capitol hill reacted in the only way they know how political finger pointing and big money corporate donors bootlicking us president donald trump took to the airwaves looking quite peake it i might add to announce that yes we finally have to take this threat seriously and that to keep new cases from entering our shores we will be suspending all travel from europe to the united states for the next 30 days the new rules will go into effect friday at midnight so everyone band except those traveling from the united kingdom they they can still come over. i wonder why and while trump has was busy wishing he had never met had that mar-a lago dinner with the brazilian president both marilyn his aides one of which is now a confirmed carrier things on capitol hill we're just well a little sick leave our good buddy out of tennessee lamar alexander showed where his loyalties lie when it comes to the human crisis as he blocked an emergency bill

that would have guaranteed all american workers 14 days of paid sick leave in the event of a public health emergency when asked why he blocked the bill alexander stated it's not a cure for the coronavirus to put a big new expensive federal mandate on employees who are struggling in the middle of this matter. yes because you know we can't have wal-mart mcdonald's and other corporate conglomerates spending their hard earned executive bonuses on things like you know paid sick leave during public health emergencies i mean what kind of animals are we out here. i tell you who we are we are the kind who want leaders to step up in times of human crisis and actually put people over profits now let's start watching the home. she wanted. on a city u. street. there so you would see prices joyce just state and see. rice graze suggests least systemic deception is the late show

which is where some things are just as. welcome on watching the hawks. and i'm amazed i mean sure i got to say look i got a lot of venom to the republicans i got a lot of venom to the democrats because i am just of that opinion and maybe i'm alone on the island a nobody handle on this to celebrate correctly i mean you've got them pointing fingers back and forth always donald trump followed some democrats fall left and right and center why can't we leave the finger pointing so after the virus threat is over and then decide who dropped the ball and right now just focus on you let's try to stop the virus from spreading because the virus had the nerve to crop of right in the middle of an election year in the middle of the democratic primary in the middle of president trying to rally his base and get people excited i think that you're right tyrrell right now we're seeing both parties actually not necessarily be putting america 1st not putting the health of our nation 1st they

are trying to score political points and i think that that was heavily evidence by by tom speech last night but it's also been evidence by the candidates still in the running for the democratic nomination and one of the most interesting parts is there are still many people right here getting infected every day we know that we don't have enough tests available there people who have the virus who currently don't know that they have it we know that there have been guidelines and different information given from given from doctors across the country and across the globe that could help to limit some of the spread of this virus it is not the point of where we need. to be where we need to be actually advocating for travel bans because at the end of the day the virus is already in the united states and in the united states numbers that are expected to be in the thousands at this point again we haven't issued enough tests to know exactly where we are but we do know that a travel ban isn't going to solve our problem and that's one of the things that jumped out at me to is like if you're going to give people information at least

give them accurate information i mean even the president last night said that u.s. health insurers have agreed to waive co-payments for coronavirus treatment although when it came in mass they held america's health insurance plans one of the biggest trade groups came out and said well. no we said that we would have co-payments for testing we said nothing about co-payments for treatment you know and i think that's the basic problem here is that you have every side not really telling people what they really need to hear in order to keep fears down and have people acting responsibly people are looking towards the white house right now for information they're looking towards the white house right now to calm certain fears they're looking for a plan so when you have the president make those statements that not only have they are they factually incorrect they are things that he announced with the full bravado of the white house behind him and we know that they were not only not true but there is no plan moving forward we do need to have some type of deal with pharmaceutical companies we do need to make sure that when a back seems available that it will be free and available to everyone and that you

know cost isn't something that stops people from getting the medical treatment and care that they need but we also need to make sure that we are staffing our hospitals in our community clinics with the right amount of doctors and nurses because one of the things that i think bernie sanders rightfully pointed out today was that we are under represented in the amount of people that we actually need to be able to service a pandemic at the level that we're seeing this and don't get me started on our good buddy lamar alexander who i'm sorry in a time of crisis of people need to stay home from work because the kids can't go to school or whatever it is we should allow they should be getting paid leave to keep the economy growing because if they don't have money and putting that money back into the. anime them you have no economy and i think author and book editor brian merchant tweeted in response to the blocking of paid sick leave one couple you got a great tweet you said a bunch of septa jim merriam's with cadillac health care plans just told the working class to keep toiling through a pandemic even if it kills them i mean that's that's kind of what we're seeing left right and center right now and it's frustrating because it doesn't give you

any opportunity to do anything else we're seeing more and more schools close you see maryland schools closed and tape it well we also see it happening in the state of ohio what are you telling those parents when someone has got to be home watching these kids now what about when rick comes around what about when medical bill comes around what about when they have to buy more groceries there has to be some type of bail false a for these individuals who by no fault of their own now have their schedules up and. the corona virus has killed thousands of people around the world and sickened more than 100000 qubit 19 is changing more than the precious markets that president trump is most concerned about in the u.s. from soap and hand sanitizer shortages empty venue for festivals concerts and religious events the coronavirus is reshaping everyday life the latest round of coronavirus safety measures is hitting the sports world the n.c. double a tournament has been canceled that's right no one is going to the big dance this

comes on the heels of the national basketball association announcing wednesday that it would suspend its season and definitely this wasn't the initial plan though less than a week ago the n.b.a. season was set to continue despite not having any ticket holders in the arena but when utah jazz player rico bear tested positive for cocaine 19 the n.b.a. changed its tune not to be outdone by the n.b.a. the national hockey league suspended its season as well with the stanley cup playoffs on the line a new timeline remains unclear here to unpack more about the pressure of sports world's reaction to the coronavirus and their next steps are to america producer regina ham. there is no sports where i was ever come back i'm the bearer of bad years and i really don't want to be anymore it's sad it's interesting so the n.b.a. essentially quickly rewrote the script they were talking to reno's let him play them now suddenly it's slow oh well of course. you know what we're going to have any abuse season. some people are saying this is an overreaction but you know did

the n.b.a. make the right move here you know we don't want to admit it a sports fan that's kind of our respite from everything everything bad the world we go to sports but this was the right decision and here's why chris paul went over and saw something was wrong with her to go there and even the staff is going to come any closer don't come any closer so they knew something was wrong with him they took him back another player don and mitchell also tested positive who hosted 1000 apparently there was such an array stuff and thought that was a good idea these are actually kids who probably didn't think this was serious because if you look at people dying from code 19 they're not there age so the n.b.a. is has a variety of fans that range all ages it just takes one molecule of this virus to get somewhere you're in a closed arena it's probably the best move moving forward because you don't know ok maybe the official had and he goes home to his family in the officials or older you don't know there's a lot of variables that are in play here. holders are you know are the folks in their sixty's seventy's and they're usually sitting for. you know horrible

regina it has been the after with the u.s. and the international league canceling in postponing seasons all across the board it appears right now if it's time for the international olympic committee and japan's organizing teams to follow suit you know they keep saying oh well you know we'll just wait till may wait till may that's their safeguard may it's a magical boundary were paralyzed virus is going to be gone that's not going to be the case they need to see that there have been so many can't use the n.c. deadly storms brings in $8800000000.00 worth of television revenue from c.b.s. and turner you have all the congress forms that were cancelled today you have nascar and the p.g.a. . solo sports mind you really not allowing fancy involved and you also had a look at boxing qualifiers didn't get cancelled they finished because they're held in jordan but they're moved from their original location so at some point you need to have the olympic committee take a step back and go look we have all these in events being affected you have a league being suspended for 2 weeks you have international events rugby events

being cancelled these are all going to be part of a larger puzzle you can't just ignore what's right in front of you and i feel like they're just looking at the case and seeing how far they can push it how far can that envelope go before they ultimately have to postpone or cancel it. and what does this mean for everyone else because we know when you're talking about the sports leagues we're talking about these elite athletes we're also thinking about the agents we're thinking about the people who work in the stadiums there are so many other people who are affected other than those who we see playing ball right and mark cuban you know the owner of the mavericks he is being one of those guiding lights in all this he's decided to find a way to pay those hourly employees who are not going to have to be you know any sort of money coming in for the 1st vehicle future we don't see a lot of other things taking that and i thought you would especially have the n.h.l. you have major league baseball is extending their season 2 weeks later that could be pushed back even further m.l.s. just started 2 weeks ago now they're being postponed you have all these workers who are part time who don't have the same benefits that a full time or a full time or does so i think you need to see more going to be responsible for

that also given sports media look at people who freelance who don't have health insurance is all going i'm now a free agent for the 4 dot dot dot dot o'donahue soon i was there because of journalists covering sports and things like that you know what are they going to do they can't talk about anything because like this this this subject is only going to go through a couple days of sports talk radio and on my way to do you know talk about last season you know what could happen i mean and that's a shame. you know i think that and to add on to what you're saying about not only the workers in these arenas and things like that joe n.b.a. not going to do it baseball's but you're also talking about the. unities around the readers member the big excuse every time they want to they want to city to pay for a stadium is look at all the money it brings into the community around it look at all the jobs that there is so now you have to ask that question if you're not having these these events who's going to be in the bars who's going to be in the restaurants all of that this could be a major blow to the city economy is correct oh absolutely especially when you look

at indian wells alone roughly $400000000.00 comes in to indian wells california for a tennis tournament test tournament in miami as well the miami open recently said that the a.t.p. and the deputy are suspended for 6 weeks that tournament not be going on that brings in hundreds of dollars to that miami area for economics look when you look at march madness there are 4 different regions each region obviously gets a boost in the economy because of people coming to the hotels the flights the food the bars now you're having bars going ok i don't have this spike in revenue that i'm normally having i don't have a spike in clientele for hotels bookings are being canceled and even tournament the college basketball conference has had to refund people so now you're seeing money major thing money given back to our regina thank you so much for bringing this wonderful amount of bad news to tell you very much what about that oh these are important stories and that's why we cover it up thank you so much for being on top of that regina great job. all right is going to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man through the brand new portable t.v. . through google play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v.

we have to realize we are all living on a small fragile space ship together and it's really no different than a bunch of people in a harsh environment trying to rely on each other to survive we we are interconnected on this planet we rely on each other everywhere around the world to survive as a species. the freddy said the thought for sure but a little try to get there was a news new york at the sun shining star will ensure the city achieved you feel and i mean the steel wool for your clothing would not only do it is made for bush but i will push you just so for the sure going to get us no. good to see.

the legal team for whistleblower and political prisoner chelsea manning has confirmed that she is now recovering from a suicide attempt after nearly a year in u.s. prisons raising new concerns about how harsh sentences impacted her health are to americans rachel blackburn's as the latest in prison was a large healthy manning is now recovering following a suicide attempt that comes days before she was set to appear before a judge in a petition for her release the sheriff's office in alexandria virginia where manning has been held for the last year confirm that she was transferred to a hospital on wednesday but they did not give any details about the circumstances surrounding her current state. manning was said to appear in court on friday in

a petition seeking to drop the current content things against her she has been in jail since may after she refused to testify before a secret grand jury in the case involving the you expander julian the songs in march 29th seen in a statement manning's legal team said the hearing is expected to go on this planet on friday and they noted that in spite of those things sions which have so far included over a year of so-called coercive incarceration and nearly a $1000000.00 in threatened fined she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in the secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse. manning became known to the public back in 2010 when she released the largest frova state secrets in u.s. history consisting of more than 250000 classified cables among them was horrific footage that shows the u.s. apache helicopters gunning down innocent civilians and journalists in iraq after

she was sentenced to 35 years behind bars for violating the espionage act in 2013 manning said it was then commuted by president obama and 2017 but her latest fight with the law involved the u.s. government's case against weak you expect and it's ongoing attempt to force julian us bonds to be extradited to the u.s. where he faces life in prison in addition to protesting the existence of a secret grand jury manning said in a statement that the question she was asked pertained to her disclosures of information to the public and 2010 all of which she answered an extensive testimony during her court martial in 2031 years of manning's suicide attempt comes months after a top united nations official warned her current treatment amounts to torture calling it an open ended for aggressively severe measure of coercion both selling all the constitutive elements of torture or other cruel inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment while the state of the whistleblowers health is now in the spot. chelsea

manning has repeatedly said that she would rather risk grave harm to herself than to ever retrieve her principles reporting in washington rachel love and our c. n n a bit of breaking news we've just now learned breaking wonderful news we've just now learned that the judge's order now ordered for chelsea manning to be released from prison after everything she went through another day for release is not yet known after this decision today the judge said manning's testimony before a grand jury is no longer needed so chelsea manning will now be free. small businesses keep americans employed in fact they provide over half the jobs in the united states small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and industry they drive innovation and keep america competitive impact small business accounts for 44 percent of u.s. economic activity but there's so much more to the story of small business and entrepreneurship and it's outcomes being an entrepreneur isn't

a cakewalk it comes with risk often big ones according to the small business association only half of small businesses survive the 5 year mark and only one in 3 of those businesses get to see their 10 year anniversary. small businesses can fail for variety of reasons ranging from lack of market need and money woes to competition and pricing but none of these issues seems to stop people from steadily moving towards entrepreneurship. terry giles' is one of those people that is a lawyer turned entrepreneur he built a large and lucrative criminal defense bar by age 30 both in dozens of a list clients but within 4 years the guy was caught the entrepreneurship bug left the legal field and never turned back and his book the 15 percent from tragedy to abuse 85 percent crumble 15 percent rise above he delivers the inspiring and compelling story of individual hardship and adversity begging the question why do some people overcome hardship while others do not joining us now is author and

former campaign manager to ben carson teardrops results you've led a very wild life i have to say when i was reading everything in the book and all that that's incredible and i want to ask you because i think you've lived life you know your wisdom what you've learned over the years in this book what are some tips that you would give our experimental words of those thinking about taking that leap and becoming you know business owners and trying to make their lives better trying to rise themselves up what's the best advice you can give them you just have to have a little bit of a lack of fear factor you know life real life begins at the end of your comfort zone so it's moving out of your comfort zone and moving into something that's new it can be exciting it can be very difficult it can be suspenseful but the truth is that's where the rewards are it's where the danger is it's where the the risks are but the risks relate almost directly to the reward. and you preface much of your story speaking on adversity and overcoming it but technically you came into the

small business world after leaving a very lucrative position and that isn't the story for most american entrepreneurs in fact a lot of the people seeking small business ownership are from backgrounds of immigrant populations they are from backgrounds of being. we basically incarcerated in locked out of our traditional work and people who are women and people of color who also find it hard to get some of the small business grant another opportunity so what do you do you feel like your message trains then to those people as well well i hope so you know i wanted to be a trial lawyer from the time i was in 5th grade and i was able to start my own practice at a law school we had tremendous success i'd been in the practice but it half years we've built the largest criminal practice in california making over $600.00 criminal court appearances a month and in 8 years i tried 90 cases the verdict including 1313 murder cases and 3 death penalty cases and then i represented for a douglas and fred was a gentleman who was accused of killing 9 women making porno stuff movies some

things went wrong for the prosecution in the trial i got fred off and 6 months later he killed 2 more girls and at that point i couldn't answer the question why is life better because i do what i do for a living so i quit and but i realized i had built this business called a practice of law so why couldn't i do that again in some other field but a field where you know i could so great cars or create a bank or do a manufacturing company and that's really how the entrepreneurship started. you know it's interesting when you you know you talk about like upbringing and things like that and you spend some time sharing all that it's like shaped your life and your upward who should goals can you share a bit more on that and like what about elements of your upbringing kind of taught you how to kind of overcome and how that and all other people can kind of learn from that well psychiatric science will tell us that when someone goes through a major hardship 85 percent of the time it's said some back their life is either

ruined or certainly put into a negative place but for some reason 15 percent fight their way through it and they become stronger and better than if they had not gone through the hardship at all. and i really believe that what it amounts to is this when hardship hits everybody as a human so human trait we say why me but the 85 percent get trapped there they start to think of themselves as a victim they talk about themselves being a victim their conduct indicates they're a victim and they fall into victimhood and the deeper they go into that the harder it is to get out for whatever reason and the book talks about those reasons and 15 percent fight their way through it they come out the other side and by coming out the other side they realize that they're not at the mercy of life life can work for them they can make life work for them and once they do that they take on a much more positive attitude now those traits are interesting it's low fear factor

understanding the power of words are words is dynamic even the words you speak to yourself those might be the most important words and again if you in your head you're talking about yourself being a loser. that's what you're going to create you know what. you know in sports they talk all the time about visualization we can visualize things in our own life you can visualize yourself being a better father better husband better employer a better employees and then if you can align that consciousness with your communication and your conduct with everything you say and do i say the universe can't deny it then just got to be careful what you ask for because you might get it as often the problem is i want to say it truly fascinating stuff for the government people to check up a book called 15 percent awesome awesome work and thank you for coming on today pleasure. thank you for having me. discrimination and

racism in health care it's nothing new from fallacies about pain tolerance that leave black people without the medications given to others after enduring painful procedures to the maternal mortality rate where motherhood is thinking black women to an early grave lack of equity in health care is long overdue and there are no areas of the health care system that escape the tentacles of racism e.g. as have fallen victim as well that e.g. monitors brain electrical activity and their queen show in neurological exams but there is a law in their original design with electrodes attached to a patient's scalp don't work well if you have kinky curly or course here translation if you're black the design flaw was designed that the design while was discovered by engineers at carnegie mellon who noted the design wasn't intentional but it's worth thinking about who it was designed for following up on the carnegie mellon discovery a team measured how much course here could interfere with measuring brain signals

they found that when placed on course here that e.g. signal with less accurate fignon efficiently list but after breaking course here into it then one road design and using newly developed flexible electrode clips are reliable measurement could be taken. it's worth noting that many of the medical marvels like the igi could use some tweaking doing it what do you lin's after all black people are patients to those devil and i was so happy to see this thing come through graham bell dollars call like innovations like that that's pretty sweet absolutely it just makes me fear whatever we were doing before this happened was absolutely frightening but on that positive note of little human ingenuity is probably going to save us in the long run i think that's where we are today so everybody remember in this world we're not told or love the tell you i love you i roll them turn and i mean keep on watching all those talks have a great day and night everybody.

join me every 1st day on the alex sullivan show and i'll be speaking to get

a feel of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see of and. good food descriptions sound up even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets is really more based on what they want to sell us and what's necessarily good for the patent churns out and pet food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge of a demagogue problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of

their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. u.s. stocks suffer their worst drop since the 987 crash as president trump makes a bungled oval office address failing to reassure investors that the coronavirus crisis is being properly handled. the pandemic is proving to be profitable for some us companies and con artists cash in on people's growing our needs. and as the greek island of low spots records its 1st infection locals fear they won't be able to cope while contending with an overcrowded refugee camp. if it gets like you to it will be doomed because the only not only has one hospital this close like with. a lot of people here you don't always sort.
