and this interests that he represents and was created by take a listen. appealing are great citizens of this country to a certain extent and to a large extent as warriors. their warriors we can't keep our country as we have to put our country. warriors yes we are all of us we are soldiers and love fights in the great war against. wages who exactly are we fighting or more importantly what exactly are we fighting for are we fighting the virus that threatens us are we fighting for the health and safety of our friends and loved ones well my friends the president and sort of those questions as well take it away donald i created with a lot of other very talented people and the people of our country the greatest economy in the history of of the world the best numbers we've ever had the best stock markets i think we had 144 days of wreckage stock markets and then one day

they said we have to close our country and now it's time to open it up. yes my friends america will be opening up soon up for the ideals of liberty and freedom definitely not for safety your health or its own but the greater good of wall street and the one percent and of course mr trump's impending reelection we can't forget that we are fighting for that too bad it's why we are warriors well if you look at how america treats its soldiers and veterans i think the more apt word to use in this new war would be cannon fodder because as g.t. here writes in the nation the botched pandemic response resembles america's failed wars in vietnam and iraq not just an inept attitude but in terms of been justice as those as with those wars there is no real shared sacrifice that is so very very true you see like always the poor and working class americans the nurse. the m.t.a.

workers the meat packers though face the real wrath of this pandemic while the elite president bone spurs and nancy pelosi are super expensive ice cream they get to sit this one out and their yachts and mansions as they make their donors money off of your heart and sacrifices and putting your own butt on the line and i think that is why we are here today watching the next. 3. letters like. this you always see a. great city this least systemic just says so much . so you'll. want to watch i robot and i'm of the domains of their use and a lot of war language to describe america's response to this virus hear the president call us all warriors were warriors you know fighting to reopen america so

wall street can make money then i think there are a few people put forward a very interesting scenario on this of well if or if we're going to use war language then we should start looking at people who failed the united states as war criminals people like trump people like the you know the politicians who stand up and have allowed 70000 of us to die i like it it's a way of turning at the it's a way of turning base whole thing on its head because what president trump is trying to do is create this sense of patriotism among americans if you're fighting against aids in beitar if you're fighting against what some someone or something that is trying to destroy the united states there's a rally around the flag that comes with that and have congress people having congress people to stand up to showcase that this there's another side of that and to paint that picture as well i think is going to help many people to be able to wade through this dichotomy that the president himself set up yeah because look at no one is saying that we shouldn't be you know fighting for our rights and our liberties and no one's saying that we shouldn't be fine. i think i'm doing

everything we can to stay healthy and safe as a country but this like couching it in order to maintain order within this fight you've got to be good soldiers and sacrifice a few to the cause what's the cause of all wall street wall street only you know only 30 percent or so of americans actually have money in wall street that doesn't represent the whole the economy is not america i know it's a unpopular thing to say but capitalism isn't what made this country great absolutely and while she doesn't care about the death toll and you know and we've seen that there is no there's no you know remorse from them as it relates to the thousands of americans who potentially lives are at stake right now and will be if we open up without having the precautions necessary we know that we don't have a vaccine that's probably years out actually we know that we are able to contact trace we're not able to do it effectively and there are many states that are trying to create their own contact tracing teams but even that's going to take a while and it's a long time before we're out of the dark on this but you know you know who is 'd

also i would include in the you know 19 pontificating on who considered a war criminal you know people who profit off of the hurt and sorrow of others united airlines announced that they would be cutting $15000.00 airport staff and baggage handlers hours from 40 to 30 hours a week this comes after the u.s. treasury gave united airlines part of the corona coronavirus aid relief and economic security or carriers always love those names. they gave the airline $5000000000.00 of us tax dollars but now suddenly they're cutting down hours of their staff. and they can get away with it because the conditions for accepting federal support stated that airlines had to retain their staff at the same pay rates but didn't mention how many hours they could work bingo and you know the private sector is very shrill when it comes to things like this and they know that they can't let those individuals go because they will be a by a lady of the terms of the money that they agreed to get however they can. reduce

these hours and everything is extremely fine there is no penalty associated with that at all does it hurt the employees absolutely but this is something that we should have seen coming it should have actually been a part of aig there should have been a clause in there that eliminated that being a practice as well because we've seen this time and time again if you tell someone that they can't fire people they won't do it however they will put them in a very stimulus position but we will never see those clauses why because of lobbyists and guess who is next on the docket to steal taxpayer money during the covert demick leaf airing of the intercept is now reporting that here on k. street in washington d.c. lobbyists have stepped up campaign to make sure professional influence peddlers are eligible for taxpayer funds the push also includes demand for an additional $25000000000.00 for canceled events and other laws revenue from the coronavirus pandemic yes my point is now while obvious what our tax dollars are the same ones that they steal from us for whoever is paying them i mean it's just getting

a degree we have to bail out lobbyists no professional influence peddler and is that the what they are doing a lobbyist will always find a way to crawl from under some rock and take money it doesn't matter what situation it is they will find that way they have been part and parcel of creating a lot of the legislation that has hurt people cynically those in in times of trouble specifically those when it came to trying to get money to get affordable housing and things like that lobbyists have not been the friends of the american public who are an extremely long time and right now they found just another way where they end up with money in their pockets while everyone else is struggling and so the great great great let's bail them out they're not able to you know influence washington when they have those big luxurious parties where they can whine and died and say hey vote for this bill because it helps all of this small little sector of the population i'll leave it with this just to get your reaction to this according to the washington post caterpillar stanley black and decker pretty household names levi strauss the jeans maker office. your company still cares and yes the world

wrestling entertainment have paid out a combined $700000000.00 in cash or dividends to shareholders while at the same time shattering operations and laying off employees during this covert 19 pandemic that's what they're paying off shareholders we've been laying people will. follow the money. people are eager to go back to normal whatever that is 19 drastically changed the way we do business and manage our daily lives everything from church and shopping to school and the way we work has been up ended and not everyone is happy for weeks now parents have been pseudo homeschooling their kids as primary secondary and collegiate schools are shut down though they are doing their level best the stress of being a working parent and a 1000000000 teacher is taking its course remote learning was supposed to be the answer but it's wrought with problems like student gage went in

a classroom engagement can be monitored teachers can adjust and bring flair and excitement to the coursework student learning styles can be adapted to but those far remote learners haven't seen these types of opportunities through learning other big issue is one of access to low income and minority students tend to fare worse in remote learning environments these students don't have a harder time because of education with pension deficiencies but because of barriers like lack of personal computer why yes in 2020 the digital divide is widening the push to get kids back in the classroom is being led by districts across america with educators fearful that more time out who was all in a brain drain and students falling behind but not everyone is suffering from the pandemic changes in fact more employers are considering making permanent work from home positions yeah it's a covert 94 c. to learn that folks can be productive without sitting in a traditional all. office space or being micro-managed shocker. nationwide the

insurance giant recently announced a work model allowing the majority of their locations to continue working from home this move also saves businesses and corporations big bucks as they pull out of rural contracts and say goodbye to high rise buildings the move will spell trouble for commercial real estate but flexibility savings and transportation costs and more peace of mind for workers this is one of the most interesting kind of contrasts to come out of what we've been dealing with over the last few months is a. big businesses are realizing that like you said a brilliantly the people can work from home and they can be productive in the work just as hard as whether they're in a cubicle or sitting at the kitchen counter. but then they also see the contrast of them education falling off you know that those who are most learning is just failing miserably where you know what you know what is it about the current desirable warning that's that's not working with jim spigelman swimmers with a few things the current design of remote learning didn't take into consideration 2

of the largest groups of students one being those students who have special needs and special education coursework those students are going to require a lot more on the on the front end when it comes to different adaptations for their learning be it whether they are whether they have 2 or more teachers more information available to them how many times a day are they possibly logging in are they getting the are they getting the appropriate types of instructional materials things like that in addition to education as a 2nd language learners those learners for the most part many districts were already having some issues in the classroom themselves because you didn't have enough teachers to facilitate what was facilitate things that would meet their needs that's also not happening online in addition to that there is no way of monitoring how long these students are spending on any given assignment or online and the parents themselves aren't necessarily trained in monitoring or being able to answer several of the questions you and i talked about this earlier specifically . it comes to math and common core neither one of us were doing common core math.

and a recent study showed that even harvard graduates cannot do common core math these are some of the most brilliant students and brilliant minds in the country they can't figure it out either so the expectation that a parent who is a working parent is also able to sit down and do this with their children when it wasn't something they functionally did at all or had to do is also causing it i could imagine. that you brought to the element of the digital divide the you know we a lot of people take for granted that everyone has access to the internet these days but the digital divide is a major important piece of why what's the trouble with remote learning and why it's not quite working right now exactly and kurz across rule and urban areas so we take into consideration those who are from low income households but in addition to that a lot of students who are minority students and students who live in areas that just did not have access to internet or don't have a laptop at home i think that because we're in the era of 2020 and because so many

people have social media or have social media at the moment there is a notion that there isn't a digital divide right now we have over 800000 households in metropolitan new york alone that don't have access while we're talking about new york city if we're move down to places like kansas nebraska go to mississippi you have whole swaths of the state where there is no internet access there are schools that don't have internet access themselves that kind of mix together makes that argument you know the we need that should be a public utility like somehow you know make it safe to the government just can't read everything that we do want to i don't want that but at the end of the bay the internet the internet should be treated like electricity at this point no no i absolutely agree and it's something that i know that there are different corporations that are working towards trying to make that happen this should have speeded it up a bit but we haven't seen it all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the burner portable t.v. up available on smartphones through google play on the. apple app store by

searching portable t 3 or you can stream us at portable t.v. up on apple t.v. on a lot of portable t.v. coming up we delve into 2 stories the mainstream corporate news media has been afraid to begin to be co-host of by any means necessary jacket look when i'm sean black would stay true to what you look. good about is the. pleased. or operation

in your dying why are some of the wealthier neighborhoods it's been far more contained in the numbers are much lower than some of the more a neighborhood star city it's the same we're working with can source outside of the state is there just so 'd it is here so anything out of this. one else chose seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me that yet to shape out these days to come to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

during the vietnam war u.s. forces. it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is the. country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber. even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for that tragedy and. help to the people need in that little land.

all right welcome back as we cross over the middle of the week and had towards the weekend with news stories breaking left or right and center we thought it was important to bring you some added perspective on 2 of the biggest news stories of the spring the mainstream corporate media has barely given any kind of in-depth coverage to at least until recently. sort of the 1st of course has been the accusations of sexual assault misconduct made by a former us senate aide tara reid against the current democratic nominee for president former vice president joe biden for months not only of the mainstream media of major political figures conveniently ignored reid's claims but in many cases outright get to outright attacked her or marginalized her for making them in the 1st place but on monday of this week i on a presley the massachusetts democrat are currently elected to the u.s. house of representatives penned a blog post on medium declaring quote we are in the throes of an election of the

greatest consequence i reject the false choice that my party and our nominee can't address the allegations at hand and defeat the occupant of the white house the 2nd story that has not seen its fair share of proper coverage an in-depth analysis has clearly been the rise of nationwide protests calling for rent strikes and mortgage relief started just before april and they now again considerable stream as we head into the middle of may and into june both these stories deserve time in the news media spotlight because both will have an effect on your foreseeable future one concerns your home the other your next potential potential president but since these stories deal with dark and uncomfortable truths about the american experience most professional journalists and commentators only the lonely touch them with the most delicate delicate of kid gloves well joining us now are 2 folks who have no fear in speaking truth to power they are the co-host of by any means necessary and sputnik lady jackie luqman and sean block one thank you very much for coming on

everybody. thank you very much for having me let's start i want to start with terror reid and joe biden jackie what jumps out to you the most in looking at the news media's coverage surrounding reid's story especially in light of the b. 2 movement. what jumps out at me is the news media's complicity in pretty much just. storying the need to movement right along with the democratic party to propel their presumptive nominee who is already a complete and absolute us are a mess from the beginning even with out the allegations from tower re which to me are completely credible and at the very least there they require a rigorous investigation just as rigorous as the allegations of jim cavanaugh got but the democratic party doesn't want to do that and they have gone so far as to

even push journalists at the outlet outlets like the new york times to change parts of the stories that they publish about that now they're shaming chris and saying that he should be fired for even reporting on this issue and the media is complicit in covering it up in shaming terror reid and making her the problem and basically saying ok we need to but not if it's about our guy joe biden and that's not that's next of just rank and disgusting hypocrisy. and sean this one's for you do you think will be thing more democratic party members like a ana presently essentially break ranks and call out the hypocrisy they're saying in their own party treatment of revalidation. well i don't doubt that we may see some i mean i think the mainstream of democratic already are at a point where the allegations are pitched now and there's so much energy and attention

to them that they can't really ignore them so i don't want to steal that we'll see you know like books chorus kind of pushback or you're out of joe biden i do think we perhaps see some student what chris lee did but i i mean as an institution they basically came to forward to. to continue to ignore this state particularly since you know only recently personally deny these allegations so we've only recently heard from him personally about it and particularly as someone who has basically guaranteed that his vice presidential pick one you know the kind of area specter of a pot receiver around at all i think we call for too strong for the establishment leadership to break that's going to be interesting to see how this moves on but i want to move over to the run strikes too and talk with you guys about the biggest

question is are they working and will they continue into june will see them in april we've seen or may sean what are your thoughts on the run strikes and are they working. well i mean the fact of the matter is you were talking earlier about how the country is opening back up to like the fact that when ricky people his country don't have basic protections so what's happening is the economic burden or grown up by risk has been shifted to. look or working people with code to the people who are now took you seriously workers if we don't constantly colts or. we go or and most of the piece work stacks i was willing to put millions of people in danger of sickness and death but in terms of the great strikes and efforts like cancer the rents were it's a recognition that i'm actually seeing tens of millions of people be cast into unemployment and housing insecurity with people can't work they can't pay and so

that's why we're seeing organizing on a number of different levels i mean over 40000000 households or ranchers in this country and over a 3rd of people in this country could meet them. and so there's a coronavirus continues to intensify and the economic impact becomes greater and greater i think when we see you can organize and become stronger and stronger. and jackie. what do you feel is the biggest misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the strikes in the media coverage we've seen so far. well the biggest misunderstanding is always what demands from the people that would alleviate the people's crises and needs it is mischaracterized as socialism as if you know socialism is a terrible thing you know we have countries like venezuela and cuba and to some extent in iran and in other countries even germany canada other countries that are providing the monthly relief that their citizens need in the form of money so they

can pay their rents or in the case of venezuela nicolas maduro is just saying ok glenn ford you're not going to get any rent for 6 months i'll make sure the government will make sure that the landlords get paid their money we're not going to force renters to pay rent for 6 months and we're going to make sure that businesses remain solvent and people are able to eat because we're going to provide for all of their resource needs during this shutdown and this is happening in other countries all across the world that are not necessarily quote unquote socialist countries like i said candidate canada and germany but they recognize the need to take care of the needs of their people in the midst of an emergency that no one. really was well prepared for because they just ignored what was going on in china but the misunderstanding is that this is somehow un-american but if our house to to

sion the bill of rights says that this government is supposed to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare then at what point is not making it work for with making sure that instances of this country can pay their rent can eat can pay their bills while being addicted and won't have their services. the woman actual didn't ask how was that not a moment the general welfare how is that not what i think that's so making these demands it's crazy malice and it's you know american mary going. to destroy america is the very thing that is going to continue to keep the entire stay home protestors angry because they feel like they need every choice but to make the choice to walk out you know go back to work or article to

get a paycheck or die i got to say i thank you spose so much for coming on of being offered your viewpoints on 2 of these stories always a pleasure having you on once again by from by any means necessary on sputnik radio jackie luqman and sean blackman thank you so much for coming on the very. heart of what he thought is our show for you today remember when in this world we're not told her love is up so let's tell you all i love you i have and i roll them too and i let me keep on watching all those hawks never break a leg. we
