change for the post office now you know when you talk loyalty and campaign contributions you know fed ex and you p.s. have got to be feeding the trough but the joke's on them if the post office gets downgraded because your u.s. postal service delivers to every address every day monday through saturday and now they're even delivering packages on sundays it's what's called the last mile and amazon and fed ex and u.p.s. write that last mile they're not going to every house every day and suppose the post office gets downgraded or even limited and private enterprise takes that over what do you think a stamp going to cost them i can't even imagine i mean i think. this is one of those classic moments where you know everyone talks about we need privatizing smaller government the post office is one of the most important staples of government and i think that you hit the nail on the head all in when you said you know big go where everyone else won't at the end of the bay they will hit every address with america capability they will do that how important going forward is that we need to save the po

i heard from dozens of folks, librarians, fed ex-drivers, grocery store workers, cancer survivors like myself, business owners people from all over the state who support our efforts to stay safer at home and are hoping that you will continue to stay at home, also. their lives depend on it. now, it is more important than ever to make sure we are focused on keeping everybody safe, especially that we consider those who are most exposed and vulnerable when we take decisions. we remain concerned and are working hard to keep people safe in our care, such as our health care facilities and correctional facilities. even though we understand how difficult it is right now for those individuals, and their families, at this time we do not have any diagnosed cases of covid-19 at our wisconsin veterans homes, which we attribute to the good practices we had in place and protocols we added very early on. while safer at home order is no longer in effect, in the interest of the health and welfare of our members and staffs our wisconsin veterans homes will continue to follow the guidance for the centers f

i know you like fed ex. why? >> i think the stock has really been beaten up and a lot of that had to do with the fact they were going head-to-head with amazon, that amazon was going to try to displace fed ex and handle a lot of the deliveries themselves. now amazon has moved away from that part of the business. the stock is still way off recent highs and people are sitting at home, ordering more, and packages are being delivered by fed ex. i think this is a company that you can own, we own it, and owning it down here i think has a lot of upside throughout the course of this year. stuart: do you still own uber? i think you still like it. >> i don't like uber. i love uber. stuart: okay. well, where's it going? it's only at 28 bucks a share. nowhere near the ipo price. >> nowhere near the ipo but remember, this is something we have talked about, a great entry point, in my opinion. but we are going to hear earnings from uber this week, on thursday. there is going to be a negative report from uber because people aren'

fed ex and uber. make your case, mike. >> i think you still see fed ex trading down from where it was in the mid $200 a share. it's come all the way down to where it is this morning. it's going to open around $120. i think they are delivering so many packages, they went through a real rough spot when amazon came after their business but now amazon has stepped out of that business. i think as people have been quarantined they have realized they can shop more online for more things, so i just think fed ex is completely undervalued here at these levels and it's going back north of $200 a share. we own it and would buy more here. stuart: you own uber as well, i think, right? >> yeah. uber is one we have discussed at length. when you look at uber, uber is a company that i see as the next big tech company, the next $500 billion plus technology business. they are doing so many things, they have over 100 million users every month on their platform. the ceo, dara, is doing a great job with the business. whethe

crushing the post office is really going to up the game, both in logistics operation at amazon and also fed exs., so the only people of this who will hurt are the hundreds of thousands of employees at the u.s. postal service. we're not just talking about some government agency. this is the second largest employer in the united states, and to, you know, threaten the very livelihoods over just this vendetta, that you have, that you don't really even understand, because what you want to do, isn't going to really affect the animus that you have is really just abominable. >> so we should also say, i mean you know this, that the right has had it out for the post office for a while, right? and the sort of structure has been changed over time. there's congressional legislation that requires them to pre-fund their pension liability in a way that basically no one else has to, which has created an enormous burd on on their balance sheet. what is their current financial situation? because i would understanding they are in desperate, desperate dire straits. >> they're definitely in trouble. and what you me

they want them renegotiated with amazon, fed ex, ups and the like.sually the postal service does the last leg delivery, last mile delivery, meaning delivery straight to the door, but president trump is not happy about the fees they have been charging by the likes of amazon and namely to jeff bezos. he's called the postal service a joke, the whipping boy of amazon, and we know the postal service is set to lose around $13 billion a year because of the depressed volumes when it comes to personal and marketing mail and packages because of the pandemic spread. so president trump and treasury secretary mnuchin also withholding a $10 billion stimulus payment over to the postal service because they want them to renegotiate the fees before they give them some of this stimulus money, and they have said before they want these fees quadrupled, according to president trump. trump has also installed a new postmaster general as well, the finance -- he is the finance chair for the 2020rnc convention. don't forget, the postal service employs 600,000 across the countr

the man behind it is the fed ex ceo. how do these work? me just on my left, your viewers' right, we make a robot and it has a xenon light bulb inside with a special mixture of gas. when you pulse that light with high power, it puts out broad spectrum, high intensity uv light that destroys the pathogens in the environment. when the pathogens aren't in the environment, people end up not getting sick. you will see the head rising up right now and it will begin pulsing with high intensity in just a second. neil: what is it doing? can it move? how does it work and how long is it on? >> great. so we have done trials and this was proven to kill sars cov2. that was done at the texas biomedical institute. you can see light flashing behind me. you will run it on each side of a bed for two minutes. that's going to kill bacteria and viruses. you might have recently seen news about the mta wanting to test things. this is proven in over 500 hospitals, actually closer to -- many more than that, around the world to kill not only sars-cov2 but also the meg

lawmakers, republican and democrat, are backing the pentagon on this along with 70 companies including fed exg ups, including the airlines who use gps and are worried about it. there's a lot of pressure. clearly, top levels of the trump administration are split on this issue, arthel. arthel: lucas tomlinson, thank you very much for that important report. eric. eric: well, arthel, statistics show that the coronavirus does discriminate. a disproportionate number of african american and latinos have tested positive for the virus. briabrian llenas breaks it down. >> happened so fast. >> reporter: kathy roman is mourning the loss of three uncles and her grandmother all dead from the coronavirus in the span of a week and-a-half. >> they didn't deserve to die alone too. it's painful, really is. >> reporter: her older sister evelyn is in the icu, fighting covid-19. >> i want my sister to get better, that's all. i want her to pull through this. >> reporter: latinos and black families are suffering disproportionately from the covid-19 pandemic. in new york city, their death rates are double white famil

it is primarily fed-ex. they offer the services. that is where we landed with the determination. >> the board has amended these code sections many times and still continues the categories or hasn't identifying shipping and those services as something that would need to be in a different category, is that correct? >> that's correct. the topic has been debated much in the specific uses. now the conversation is started this can be brought to the board of supervisors to determine knowing how they interpret the code they can know what changes if any they want to make there. >> okay. thank you. mr. duffy did not speak before. i assume he has nothing else to add. >> no. >> thank you. commissioners, this matter is submitted. >> commissioner swig. >> i am sympathetic to the appellant. there may be ambiguity in the te way it is written. i was clear to ask mr. sanchez if he had hesitation to support the permit. furthermore this is one of the things that i observe in our hearings is the consistency of the behavior according to what the law is.

the fed, the bank may not be looking at negative rates to combat the pandemic any time soon. over the past few days has been steadily kind of given the narrative of crushing that exrotecttation but in the april minutes, the fed members saw a severe threat to the economy and even financial stability in the u.s. let's discuss more now with the former advisor to the president of the dallas fed and currently quill intelligence c.e.o. and their chief strategist. always a pleasure to have you on with us. is it an inevitability given that rates are just barely managing to keep above zero and you have action over the e.c.b., the b.o.e., obviously new zealand is talking about it as well. in this environment is an inevitability that we'll get to negative rates in the u.s.? >> i don't think that it is an inevitability for every other country with the exception of the united states. i think negative rates are more practicable in other countries because they take the risk-free rate associated with the u.s. treasury. and kind of plug them into their financial models. i think that doing that with the world's reserve currency carries with it a lot of risks that chairman powell h

ex-ceo got nine months. it's a wine dealer in california ended up getting five months after prosecutors recommended a 15-month stint. there was a parenting author, book author, the fedstenced to three weeks. so it's roughly in line with what other sentences have been. >> yeah, it's certainly right in the middle of the range. if anything, slightly lower than the middle of the range where the other sentences have been. don't forget, this judge has across the board given lower sentences to the defendants than the prosecutors have asked for. in this case, again, with two and five months with the global pandemic, they could ask for home confinement to do their time at home instead of having to go into a prison system that's overly-populated for a matter of weeks. so i think they played their cards just right here. their exposure to trial was enormous. the guidelines said up to 40 years. that was never going to happen. if they were convicted at trial, for sure they would be doing at least a couple years in jail, each. and that was a heck of a risk to take. dagen: it's also the cost of going to trial and the legal fee you will pay. you wipe out your savings doing that even

a lot of shipping via fed ex. ground service. so we're keeping revenue going. >> reporter: another thing loca need the tech companies here to reopen, along with the local movie theater, and they say that wing bring a lot more foot traffic which will translate to a lot more business. at santana row, scott budman, nbc bay area news. >> that may not be happening for a while. >>> let's get a check of the forecast, some places hitting 100 degrees. let's join rob and the relief not coming anytime soon. >> unfortunately, it is too early to see these types of temperatures. 20 degrees above average in some distances. and not so good news is that we're not quite halfway through it yet. right now, san francisco in the 70s outside. after, for the first time, this year, we managed to get to 80 degrees. you can see the skies there, clear, no fog even though the breeze is picking up and the way i like to compare it is like the fan is on but the air conditioning is turned off. you don't have the fog or the cooler low clouds or the stratus coming
