that is the thing that they sort of rest their laurels on in terms of the action they took. it is true, there was a ban that was placed, there was a pretty porous travel ban as we know. there were a lot of people who still came into the country at that point. the country was likely the united states, that is, the united states was already seeded if you will, before they came into china before that porous ban went into place. there was a delayed ban coming out of europe because we knew a lot of people who were infected were coming in from europe as well. but the larger point, that was never supposed to be the end all. that's the first thing that the vice president mentions. we lost a month after that. there were many people who were infected, they were undetected because the testing was not out there yet and they continued to spread the virus in a very rampant way, almost unchecked for a month. that's the real problem and still here in august, we still don't have the infrastructure as compared to other countries. i mean, you know, that we could go on and on. but john also ask

>>the morning you can see right behind me this is laurel street and they have this area blocked off. so people can a run outside also so they can provide outdoor dining. but it's official a lot of businesses going to close their doors or either modify some things. i this morning have been out here talking to residents and it's not just the business owners who you know have thoughts about this change. it's also people who live out here in san carlos i'm joined live with mister johnny johnson this morning. i stopped on his walk. so can you give me your thoughts on how you feel the changes are affecting people that live out here like yourself. >>what it does make it really hard for the business owners but. >>i'm all about safety i walk my dog with my mask and with my wife and i'm all of a safety get through this thing and i think we'll be able to survive an outdoor dining should is better than nothing. >>you know changes have come a lot of times very abrupt. changes have come out here for a lot of you how have you guys made adjustments in how have your local businesses where you guys ar

-- trotsy would look at these people and say they are really rich people who are sitting on their laurelsdo not have to account for anybody. portnoy of course comes from the sports world where these people would have been fired nine times over can you imagine an nfl coach who was very good in 1987 and has been coaching ever since and that's the world that portnoy is from he is a world of rigger and the world of rigger in the nfl is far more rigorous than the world that we have people can be wrong all the time a lot of these hedge funds come on and maybe they say they are on some private island, maybe they say this is the most dangerous market ever and nothing -- they're wrong and they still have their job, their job is to be rich. so that's why i thought that the tro trots keyimplication was interesting -- >> it was interesting. >> their job is to stay rich and keep you poor. >> the hedge fund world was created to enrich a small group of people beyond all measure despite the fact that when you look at the performance over a long period of time it is nothing short of maybe average. >> yeah

and there is no -- this isn't the time to rest on our laurels with that. and if we started to do better and communicate even more. and so there is always more work to do and especially in making sure that we're meeting people where they are at and providing adequate support and two things that stick out to me. and way that improvement these kinds of plans and with the holistic areas and with one west side transit and and august 22 was the date and that is part of the overall plan for light rail to improvement reliability. and improvement efficiency in the tunnel and embarcadero. and because of the construction and with the construction project underway and from that areas and the west side and from the outer park side and to transfer to light rail at best. i heard from a lot of rideers and constituents that is unreasonable and particularly for the case of seniors and people with disabilities. and that is going to be huge challenge to make two transfers and will just drive ridership down even further and lead more people to drive their cars and so i was won

i know that the economy can't rest on the laurels at least for working people. have don't think the issue is bigger than the social security debate but you certainly don't want to underfund social security right now in a pandemic where seniors, some of the people most at risk. and you know steve has nice ideas how you duct tape here and use some rubber cement over there but i don't think seniors want their fundamental security threatened. that is what cutting the payroll tax would do with really very little benefit. >> the fact of the matter -- neil: guys, we'll take a quick break. i promise you can go at each other's throats right after this. we're waiting to hear from the president. he is going to address those to ho have informally put him over the top right now, the delegate count. that has not been stamped by the conventioneers themselves. until it is, until they certify, that hasn't happened yet. he has more than numbers necessary. their roll call very different from what we saw democrats, they are rifling through it one at a time to individual states doin

nobody is resting on their laurels, but when you look at that trajectory, again, going from a virus that no one even knew about just six months ago, china lied about during that period, where we could have learned a lot more, where we could have saved more lives while china was lying -- i wish we'd have hearings on that, because that's a real fact. that's not a political talking point. not only did china lie, but they corrupted the world health organization, and they were perpetuating that. made it harder for us. i remember being in a meeting at the white house with dr. fauci months ago before it was a global pandemic, and a desire to get some of our medical experts into china to find out what was really going on. and they wouldn't let you in. the chinese communist party wouldn't let you in when president trump wanted to send medical experts into china before it spread to the united states. that cost lives. why aren't we having a hearing about that? clearly we talk about some of the different things done to stop the spread. the president actually did develop an early plan called 15 days

in laurel hill north carolina, the green pond community to be exact.our-room cinder block home with no indoor plumbing. they had very limited education. they instilled in us a strong work ethic that drove me from those twobacco fields of north carolina to the hallows halls of the georgia assembly. if i believe in god, worked hard and treated every person fairly, there's no limit to what we could achieve. i attended north carolina central university, an historical black college. for generations, hbcu's have been the incubators that develop black scholars in math, science, religion, engineering and politics. they have been imported spring boards for the black success. but democrats haven't treated them that way. when president trump took office, he changed everything. he delivered historic funding to hbcu's and guaranteed it for ten years, something that's never happened in the history of this country. that gave our hbcu's stability, a chance to grow, and produce the next generation of black leaders. that's right, donald trump did that. he's also support

this also highlights the issues laurel raised that the other side, meaning in the platform side or even the broader internet environments side, we're not seeing the same kind of coordinated response. while the actors, the malicious actors whatever you want to call non state actors carrying out information ops. they're increasingly spreading this wide net, where you see contents and activities reverberating across, websites, youtube, instagram, medium and even some of these more subversive parts of the internet like reddit. we're not seeing that type of coordination to respond to those attacks. to the extent that that's not really possible is something that we should discuss. i think one way that comes out is that in the kinds of policies we've seen. and when it comes to content controls, we've see a lot of differences and how platforms are responding to misleading or false information. we've especially seen this around public health misinformation. some content that is prohibited like twitter is not prohibited on facebook or somewhere else. i think that allows those kind of loopholes al
