seriously it's really bad stay at home but. and staying at home is exactly what many of us across the country are doing staying at home and going on strike yes in recent days we've seen average u.s. citizens from all walks of life suddenly spring to life as they are rising up against the many forms of financial oppression they face in these very oppressive times across the country from california to new york city and a great many cities in between on april 1st many of them more than $40000000.00 who wrote rent homes and apartments the united states are taking part in rent strikes with hashtag rent strike trending social media pages have been filled with pictures of strikers hanging white sheets from their windows and showing their neighborhood than the world that they will not be paying rent during this time of crisis casey james out of atlanta who is advocating and organizing that no $1.00 pay rent until the pandemic ends something's up pretty simply to the washington post stating it's not fair everything is shut down you can't work our mayor says stay home don't go

outside but we're expected we're expected to pay the cost of subsidizing landlords if we're really in this disaster everything should be frozen meanwhile things are not well in the good ship amazon is employees are staging walkouts and strikes at warehouses in chicago staten island and beyond in response to not only the company's allegedly sub par coronavirus safety measures but also for their 'd brutal treatment and public slandering of any worker who calls attention to it. the trumpet ministration says this week will be like pearl harbor and $911.00 of the tragedy front but could this week also bring us a new generation is battle of cripple creek or mickey's rock strike let's find out as we start watching all. she wanted was on a cd. player so let's see this is joyce

state. rice grace see this lady's systemic deception please show which. some real. world are going to watching our sorry i'm tired and i'm a nice across boy oh boy i mean not only are we seeing this kind of oppressive time and we're seeing people staying indoors but we're also seeing people rise up we absolutely are and i don't think that there could be a better time because amid all of this disaster we also saw all the white house and a lot of the congress members go back and forth about what a relief package what a stimulus package would look like and now we've seen at least the 1st round or the 3rd let them tell it of the stimulus package nobody has seen a chick yet and the majority of folks who actually saw all the relief are going to be these major corporations we also saw that what was it the airlines got billions

of dollars in terms of a bailout it leaves one of them has already laid off hundreds of thousands of employees it's only expected something that congress should have actually put into into the stimulus package before they handed over that cash because one of the issues we always see is that the government likes to bail out big business and those bailouts don't necessarily help the people who work for those businesses or the people who lies those services and i think that right now we're seeing a lot of businesses taking advantage of workers particularly those essential workers that are also working in your grocery stores the folks who are driving your the folks who are working in an amazon. and other other factory related businesses and aren't really thinking about their health or their state so it is high time that people take the streets we will get it will take to the internet to get as much attention around this as possible i saw the great medium kind of come out of all this were you know it had a play on bruce willis and armageddon words kind of like hey essential workers we never want to pay taxes again ever with you know the pledge because you know they're that needed but this is insane and you know what the demands of like let's

say the chicago look at chicago amazon warehouse workers went on strike their demands are not terribly aggressive they say basic simple demand says cover medical bills for employees or family members who contract the corona virus as a result of exposure at this warehouse suspend write ups based on the rate at which workers package and store deliveries to ensure workers have enough time to actually practice safety precautions and at the end maintain transparency about all the coronavirus cases that are out the aware how that happened at the warehouse and soon as managers know about them that's pretty easy simple the measure of an absolutely they're not asking for anything pie in the sky they're not asking for anything they're honestly not ask me for any extra free stuff either what they are asking for is. basic access which you're talking about those who work for amazon what people have to realize is that over 70 percent of their workers or low wage workers are part to part time workers or contractors these are individuals who do not qualify for health insurance under amazon and these are the individuals who are

making sure that everything you and anybody else across the globe is ordering gets to them because they have to be in those factories and they're not getting their basic necessities and no they're not and then when you go over to the rent side of this thing we're seeing people say i can't pay rent people 1st and we've just passed up with it people start up saying what i got no job i got furloughed home are supposed to pay rent this is ridiculous and it's not about like paying rent to somebody who owns a condo who's you know rents out to a few people you know these are big corporate landownership big corporate groups that own these apartments this is about saying standing up to a corporation saying i'm not just going to hand you money when i have them do exactly and in most of our major urban centers the chicago the d.c. the l.a. is what you do see is that a lot of these are a lot of runners are paying their cash to very large groups that all multiple buildings in many cases across multiple cities at the same time these are individuals who are going to totally fall apart should they create some sort of relief for people who honestly can not come up with the money right now and not all

of them are asking to not pay anything at all a lot of them are asking just for a little bit of extra time because they simply do not know what next week is going to look like what next month is going to look like and they know that they. are still do but right now they're making some really intense decisions a lot of that is whether you know the lights are going to stay on keeping food on the table their kids are at home and again a lot of these individuals do not have health insurance so they're also trying to come up with the cost of those medical bills and that and that level of care i say i applaud them for standing up and saying no we're not going to take this and just to quickly before we move on to the next subject of 34 states have actually issued extensive moratorium sort of actions but that still means they have to pay the backgrounds. that doesn't mean ok we won't get evicted but then you know months from now they're going to have like 2 months where they got to make up for and no one can afford about at the end of the combine. mandatory quarantine shelter in place stay at home however you phrase it the meaning is the same stay

home save lives as the world continues to grapple with the realities of its latest invader but 19 the safest place should be your home but if you are a victim of domestic violence coronavirus for cautions put you directly in the crosshairs across the united states reports of domestic violence skyrocketed in the month of march in conjunction with the growing list of cities and acting stay at home wards domestic violence calls are increasing to law enforcement agencies are seeing double digit cases in calls across cities like houston charlotte chicago in phoenix the national domestic violence hotline a lifeline call center averages $1800.00 to 2000 calls per day a perfect storm of desperation is growing for people rapid job loss job uncertainty for those still employed housing insecurity and. it just keeps getting worse and worse the financial stress alone creates an unhealthy environment leaving families

with a history of domestic violence on the brink of disaster with many kids being home from school and college during the coronavirus pandemic young people have a lot to the abuse and assault as well to top it all what is being called pearl harbor week as the coronavirus backdrop consumes every part of our daily life domestic violence shelters are fighting to keep their doors open there has been no government stimulus program despite our nation's shelters at capacity and their boundaries and capabilities hampered. this is personal to my best friend and sorority sister megan montgomery was shot and killed by her estranged husband just a few months ago and my own little sister right now is fleeing domestic violence with my 4 year old nephew and 2 year old niece into as we battle coronavirus we have to also think about those fighting for their lives at home where shelter in place is no shelter at all. this is a great a great story a great subject matter that you brought you brought up today and we should because

it's one of those things i think we we get to quickly these are those things that slide through the cracks we're saying oh i want to stay at home be safe from the virus will like as you pointed out what is potentially more dangerous or equal to the billions of catching the virus absolutely in a think that it poses so many issues because the whole meteorology around domestic abuse and abusers is that they want to path to isolate the people they have this gives them the perfect way to do so these individuals aren't visiting family because they can't they aren't interacting with friends they have no real estate and now they are cooped up in a home with this abuser 247 and what do you do where do you go how do you with skate can you even call is that even safe because now this person is here watching you all day all day and then when you add when you add in that as we're talking earlier today when you add in the dangerous mix you know as you're mentioning you know the loss of wages the pressures of being under the you know idea of what any

minute if i go outside and talk to the wrong person i could get sick and go you know good all that when you add to the mix to an already volatile situation that domestic abuse is this is this is something that we have to kind of figure out an answer for real quick because we can't keep going on like this we can't keep putting these people in danger like this absolutely and one of the other things that we also know is that a lot of people who suffer from domestic violence of domestic abuse are also folks who have symptoms of depression anxiety and all of these other mental health issues that come from living a life of constant fear we also know that those individuals and the support that they need from mental health centers and they're not getting we're talking about the lack of money and the lack of attention paid to these the method balance shelters those mental health clinics and that support has all but been eradicated over the past 4 or 5 years in a lot of cities across the country where a lot of those places have completely shut down. and right now the phone is ringing off the hook to get some type of assistance to those in need and you know and

whenever you talk about these cases too you also talk about like a lot of the victims of domestic abuse are world one point able to use hotels or b. and b. places like that to run to new orleans like harry can you give me some but i got to get out of their situation they get picked up drive already. well that's not an option really it's not there at all and we've seen air b.n. b. extend itself to a lot of our frontline workers a lot of our nurses because they recognize that those people can't come in contact with their kids when they go home but we haven't seen that sort of outreach to domestic violence victims so they don't have any place else to go except the home to stay in the home where they're being abused every day and the standing of the even more saddening part is that many of those individuals who express who experienced violence my sister being included do their best to shelter their kids from it even when they're in the same place either you know they will have somebody come pick them up they put them in daycare or they put them in after school programs all of these things to try to mitigate them actually seeing it live right now none of that is possible what what is the what is the way that you see someone

not only who started this many years but also someone has mentioned some of the family do it what is the way out what society do what can government do how can people help these people right now i think that they do and it's tough because we're seeing so it's an election year and election year politics are always very wonky and difficult the reauthorizing the violence against women's act and we need to do what we needed to do and yesterday i don't care who the president is what we know is that domestic violence is not respected blue or red it doesn't care what region of the country you're in what region of the world you're in we need to get to a point where we are sounding the alarm where those people aren't able to get guns right now that more we need to get to a point where we are providing a safe haven we need to increase the amount of funding to those domestic violence shelters particularly to organizations who help to how those individuals who are basically on the run from the. the use of situations and fully recognize it and i say this because my dear friend lost her life 2 days after thanksgiving she had in

her possession a in order to keep him away from her he came 2 weeks later told her out of a restaurant shot her in the back 3 times so it's a problem for me when people think that you just going to the police and then giving you a restraining order is going to protect you because that does not work it's a great thing to do but it doesn't mean that your life is going to be the 1st it's the 1st of bard everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones through google play about the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. you have all more work for you hold your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v. app on apple t.v. and online a portable t.v. this awesome awesome app will be available on more devices coming soon but coming up here on this show we will be talking the state versus federal response to the colbert 19 epidemic the former chairman of the republican party martin stay tuned

to watch in the office. as we head into the big singularity it's the single most important thing that ever happened to. the creation our invention are just covering a fire. this is a story of women women was troubled histories and complex cold cases you know some of us. who lives out there. and we're not. the person that. cheesiness in to be considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. well below 23 hours of the day. it is not enough and it. seems

wrong. just. yet to shape our. culture. and in detroit. the trail. once i find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

it's an election year and though coronavirus threats have taken over life as we know it here in the usa there's always time for politics new york governor andrew cuomo has provided such stellar covert 19 daily briefings that many democrats want to draft him for the presidency and others see him as a sure fire v.p. pick a president trump is using his daily briefings a simple campaign rallies speaking directly to his base using the colorful language he's become known for and of course attacking journalists every chance he gets. former vice president biden is the living addresses via social media from his basement and every day more and more responsibility for the pandemic response falls

on local leaders that's right governors right now it's your time to shine foam are meeting the challenges and others are falling short cities like new orleans new york and even small town georgia are feeling the heat in a big way as corona virus continues to spread and hospitals become overwhelmed states and localities responded with shelter in place orders but they're piecemeal at best florida delayed closing its beaches governor to stay interests was adamant about preventing new yorkers from traveling to the sunshine state but act as though spring breakers were amusing to the virus spirit in georgia governor kim issued an executive order to reopen beaches just last week in direct conflict with city mayors across the state not to mention c.d.c. guidance also admitted to not knowing asymptomatic people could even spread the virus where has he been over the past few weeks and what did he think the whole

point of social distancing was. markedly democratic governors like cuomo in new york j.p. parts going to illinois governor bush here in kentucky and what more and michigan are doing a far better job than they were public and counterparts the question is why why aren't republican governors with the exception of de wine ohio and hogan in maryland taking this virus more seriously states are in urgent need for support supplies and direct action joining us now is ed markey former chairman of the missouri republican party welcome. great to be with you guys hope you're both well we are over your throughout it's been of interest thank you for weeks as if i want to hazard has it in your experience what why are the virus responsible state level state the state governor the governor why are they so divergent and why is there no cohesiveness to the state responses. well i think i have 2 perspectives on this one with the political hand and one is i was once chief of staff to the governor of missouri and when i was chief of staff one of the things that i was briefed

a lot on was the state emergency management you know when you came to understand that you had certain challenges that were specific to your state specific to you or at that time the state the state guard the state police the state laws so some of it is just a structural some of it is how each state is set up and some of it is a preference based on things like in st louis achievement missouri for example 2 major cities samus in kansas city were in our state that kind of tended to to adjust things in terms of the urban rural component to me you don't with it differently but then wearing a political hat these guys and gals at the top of these states these are the some of the coming you know most talented coming men and women in terms of their party so they're also trying to find their role and i you know we talk to our organization i'm going to say should the philosophically goals are eagles or in most states and places like montana they want to do less right they think they want to do less and they want to be more you know kind of free and let things go and as

you said in places where that's happened. and the governors have a rush to adjust their policies again we're dealing with a something it's everybody i think agrees is so once in a generation or once in a 100 years everybody's adjusting on the fly one thing i would say from a conservative perspective i like seeing the states being in charge i like andrew cuomo being strong i don't know he's always been right but i think he's been the one who's saying hey here's what my community needs you know then you get to blasio who made a mess of it for a period as adjusted so i think we're seeing on the that the on the fly there just into the problem and we're going to see florida's paying a price for some of their decisions but other states have been ahead of the curve and i look at missouri my home state they just decided a couple days ago to sort of go fully shelter in place i think it's because we could see the numbers and it made sense for them to i think that's a better way for our country to work. i think i probably agree with me when it comes to faith actually taking that leadership role especially especially

considering who is in the white house right now. the thought is set to have the largest wave of crisis coronavirus cases and it's grossly under prepared in terms of possible infrastructural rule medicine clinic closures if they will to expand medicaid why aren't republican governors in those areas addressing their health care infrastructure. well i think a couple things 1st of all i think most states you know we look back and they'll be plenty of time for this you'll see that most of the states did not spend the money to stockpile of resources this was a present referred to and that's both parties i think they thought well this will never happen to us or if it does will it just look i think most of the scientists are saying we're trying to flatten the curve and slow the spread but we're going to see it every you know it's going to spread across the country everywhere and how we deal with it as you point out is going to be the question not i'm heartened to see the adjustment of states i think it was maybe illinois that was sending ventilators to a different state in other words we're going to see this movement of resources around the country the key thing is going to be though to

a both. test and adjust where we see it growing and then make decisions about how we sort of restart our country and restart our economy one thing i'm frustrated with with both the presidency the president and the and the governors is what's the plan i mean we can't stay sort of in our homes for 60 more days we have to have a plan on how to start this process a phased you know phase 3 entry into the workforce whatever it is but i look at i think will be plenty of time for the south to adjust i think you'll see guys like cuomo and others who will help the federal government stamp but it's all once again a generation or 100 years challenges we're facing that it truly is of and it's interesting to see just you know how under prepared we were further this for this and as somebody you know i'm i'm a big i believe states should definitely be you know in charge of taking care of their own states they know their people best we agree very much on that ken but can

states compete with the pedal government for supplies in the marketplace i mean we've heard can talk to governor bush or him paddick we say that states come up they can't compete with the pads when it comes to spending in the marketplace and i agree with you the feds need to get a plan in place not just for getting people back to work but for handling the virus in the 1st place. yeah i mean a couple things on that 1st of all the state governments can't print money which is what the federal government just did which is you know we can say oh at least we would have inflation during this time period where you can't raise prices but it's a disaster in the making to print a trillion dollars worth of dollar bills and so we can all agree on that so i grew i understand what the states mean but here's the here's the challenge i would say is that in ash states we have i think we have to have a little bit better accountability in our states i'm talking missouri now for a 2nd the biggest the biggest employer in our state of the government is the hospital system b j c in st louis it's a nonprofit it's one of these nonprofits that everybody makes

a fortune at. there are real estate development company like these universities that have billions of dollars in downs and they lay off the cafeteria workers in harvard that when a suite i would like to see our states and our leaders both parties are held hostage by these hospital systems in every state and also the insurance companies are still making money off of this these are the people that need to be pressure points the hospital system b j c and stainless has billions of dollars they could be buying whatever they want and they turn around saying oh look we're hamstrung i'm sorry the top guy at barnes jewish b j c is make it 3 or 4000000 dollars a year to run a hospital system i mean we've got some problems i think we're seeing a realignment in this country of see who the corporate actors are and how it's impacting things now i will say this i would say we need our health care system to allow more transparency and price and more competition i think others would say we need more money in the system but whatever it is we know the health care system is not doing well enough it's going to be the topic going forward in the next couple

years i will say this that as we're for those off the show today and thank you for coming out of it i will say this though that i think we need to rethink our entire economic and health care system from the ground up because if it can't survive american spending almost for 4 weeks that have some of them there is something wrong with that to begin with thank you very much sir always a pleasure having you on sir. great to see you both. cool man alive what a show it was today a big topics and a scary time as i'm a show but but we have to wrap up now so who are connected so that has ours over you today remember everyone in this world without told the world loved enough so i tell you all from my heart i love you i am a tyrol been thrown out of the keep on watching all those hawks out there have a great night everybody.

humanity is on the edge of a precipice thanks to continuing destruction of the natural world. you just seem laid out a lot of bills lots of. losing myself and only if you. let them everything you can hold up. i think that all of the war. or the. dealing in muslim lands as a little boy can sit around and stuff it and ship them through that. human activity has brought us to the brink of the world's 6th major extinction of

it and the people in this film just come take it anymore. do you believe in miracles it would seem democrats do after the joe biden surge on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate see me now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump is the no easy task. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok actually it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's

a lot of conflicts within the games and between the teams most of the conflicts i would say. they're most of them money is made. close one on the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year off to prison complexes to get some 20 alive where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care mind anything. the swarms of them so much. good news was before. much of those who heard something. similar. would go. but it. will show you just look beautiful the immediate sense can look good. move most of these girls good you've gone for

good girls. don't go to shows from the pollute the stream you obviously show your story should go. to start ups to. get to meet until it was the middle of the mist don't see a look it is it's. just testing understand just need to mash to try to stop the president complete control just want to know. if you have producers to post this for to snuff or come up with you look as good as the cousin with you or your supporters to your machine station shouldn't do you should cut off the one who's doing business.

well redacted the nights this is the comedy job where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents welcome to the show and welcome to the shock doctrine i hope you enjoy dystopian entertain. and. so you may know naomi klein's best selling book shock doctrine was also turned into a hit documentary i believe fight club but don't quote me on that the shock doctrine basically says that the ruling elite exploit national crises like disasters or upheavals to establish controversial and questionable policies while citizens are too excessively distracted both emotionally and physically to engage and develop an adequate response.
