still going through this every single day in in country. >> what do you want folks to take away, maddiefilm? >> i just hope that people who have lost loved ones like we have can feel a little bit less alone because with the president himself trying to deny the reasons why you're feeling so much loss, it's really hard. it's hard to feel hopeful, hard to feel confident in this country. i just want them to know that they aren't alone and to everyone who continues to deny the validity and the danger of this virus, i hope they're able to put a face to the numbers, the massive, massive loss. >> as a physician and the son of someone who died of covid, what do you want people to take away, argen? >> yeah. i'm sorry. can you repeat that one more time? >> i said because you are a doctor, as a physician, someone who has lost a parent from covid, what do you want people to take away from this film? >> i would like them to see, you know, if you get caught up in politics and certainly that's a divisive focus, but if someone could see someone like my father when he was alive, when he was hardy and to

maddy savage reports from sweden now on how nour‘s life has changed.easure nour ammar doesn't take for granted. they were separated as she travelled alone across nine countries to make it here. her father died in the war in syria. now she's learned swedish, got her driving licence and a job in a food warehouse. i have my apartment. i have my family. i have myjob. so i feel like i'm a stable, confident person right now. and what about making friends, settling in? they are like a closed group, the swedish people. so you can'tjust go in and be friends with someone, sewdish people. you can't do that. do you have any swedish friends? no, i don't have any. she'd hoped for deeper connections, but still feels lucky to be here. that's because sweden, one of the most welcoming countries to migrants, changed its approach soon after she arrived, limiting numbers and making temporary permits the norm. for a center—left government it was a major shift in policy. of course, it was a tough decision to make. but on the other hand, there was nothing else to do. there ar

continues to maddy's claims and applies political pressure on countries like belgium to do this they are winning the u.s. is certainly winning this battle in terms of applying the pressure and forcing these deals away from while way instead to these other companies like nokia and it would be interesting to see because a lot of this is due to the trump administration's trade war with china or at least where it seems to have started so as we get this contentious election in less than 30 days to be interesting to see where this whole situation goes i want to know one last point here before we go ben the u.k. has released a new report accusing weiwei of having close ties to the chinese government but this report has come under scrutiny what's in the report and why are some finding it a little bit questionable here well i find it a lot of bit questionable for a couple of reasons the biggest one is simply the fact that the the u.k. report does not go back and provide evidence for the primary claim as i mentioned a few minutes ago against weiwei that primary claim against while we remember

else and i see couldn't become too bad place to just humans i do want to get on to a time as lord maddie to tell a bit but i just wanted to get your opinions on the recent story the pretty tallis proposing to send asylum seekers the ascension islands i know you mention the strain in style immigration system in europe is just as evil and then they wanted to shit refugees into islands god knows where an onus is just discussed in i'm human and the sad thing is i don't i actually. i'm not surprised specially with some of the draconian policies and initiatives that she's been pushing forward and we all have to do everything that we can to watch and make sure that nothing like that actually comes up and of course. the fall of the whole astray and style system of the should have got out of the sad thing is that bin children people are base being stuck on this island that sister education system on anything and it's not a model that we should be driving in us patting ourselves and once it's below you any shape or form. would obviously say she's always acted appropriately that segues i think nice

." >> jimmy: well, i mean, you're in a band with your sister, maddie >> yes >> jimmy: you're called,st band with your sister, apparently >> it, it was not. we used to be called "hot pink." which, i think is a great name, and i don't know why we changed it >> jimmy: this is bizarre, but we actually talked to some people and got unseen footage from an early performance of yours. check out you on guitar, this is pretty awesome. ♪ >> jimmy: oh, my gosh! >> the commitment i had to, i think i remember telling my self, i need to get down on my knees and really get into it, and then i quickly got up. i was not down on the ground, i got up so fast >> jimmy: you rocked that is one of the coolest things hey, i want to talk about your projects because you have so many besides "dear evan hanson. you have a movie out now on hbo and hbo max called "coastal elites." how did you get in that? >> i got a call from jay roach, who's the director, and he asked me to play the nurse there's all these five separate monologues about all of these diffeent characters talking about their frustration about the cu

the plot me into digital shoe maddys and the politics of mapping about how maps had been to deny black people rights. how they had been used to reflect and perpetuate inequality for black people. it was really important for me as i was engaging and using this technology to think about how what i was doing was speaking back to those power dynamics and try to push back against those marginalizing and violent practices that maps had been used for. for me, literally representing archiveople using the of black life as a source to reflect lack life was very important. a way ofying to create visualizing where black people were that motivated me. there are definitely limitations in the way that i was able to reflect that. project why the fulcrum was helpful and i was glad to have the opportunity by my editor to actually do something like the fulcrum project which allowed me to have this third version of the book that allowed me to have a map that actually moved. once you start trying to lay layered on top of lawyers on top of lawyers, it becomes messy. it's hard to see. the connection with the

i just want to know starting with you, maddy, tell us how you feel when you hear what the president says. >> i mean, it is just shocking. i can expect people my age saying things that aren't necessarily true, but when the president of the united states is trying to invalidate the grief you feel, it is a lot. >> and what do you think as you hear him? >> well, you know, the initial reaction was sort of how insane it is. just watching him be in the hospital, watching him fall ill. for him to say that, i mean, it powers salt on the wounds of the loss that we have been through and the loss that 200,000 other families, that's a small number, not just people that died, people that are suffering with covid, it is rubbing salt in their wounds and to be honest with you, it felt like that every day since april since my father passed watching people lie about masks, minimize the issue, call it a hoax. every time i see that, it is insulting. and to have it come from the leader of the country where my father spent his whole life, it's just beyond words. i have no words. >> what would you both want to

maddie, you are the manager.s on weddings and receptions anyway, in terms of numbers but the people that you have had coming through the door, what are they saying to you about all of this? i saw because the experience within the shop, i work on the busier days in the shop and before it we could have six brides in here, with back—to—back appointments and it is a personal experience for us now, we are only allowed to have three because of the cleaning procedures involved. but we are still putting 100% into those appointments, trying to fulfil and exceed brides expectations within the shop and we cannot do not win the shop and we cannot do not win the natural expectation is to be able to bring their mum and the bridesmaids. we are having to ask them to wear masks, to have their temperatures checked, to sit socially distanced within the shop, two metres apart, and again, it is a natural expectation for the mother to be able to take a picture of her daughter in her wedding dress but how can she do that when she is so

robbie: this is maddie, our store manager. lemonis: nice to meet you. how are you?: doing well. thanks. lemonis: who do you report to? madison: there -- it really is both of them. julie: i would say me, yeah. robbie: yeah, julie. lemonis: okay. i'm marcus. allyson: i'm allyson. lemonis: nice to meet you guys. so, when people walk in here, do you have any repeat customers? madison: oh, 75% is regulars. lemonis: and do you know exactly what they're gonna buy or not buy? madison: yes. lemonis: okay. madison: i know their style. i know their kids. lemonis: that's clienteling. like, "oh, my gosh. this came in. i know suzy's gonna love this." and then you're putting it in a box. you're calling her up and be like, "i know you're a working mother. i'm sending you the most amazing box, and you're gonna love everything. you're gonna wish i sent you more." julie: i never thought of that. that's a good idea. lemonis: do you have a database that puts people's information in? julie: no. lemonis: how do you communicate with them once they leave? brenna: i tell them -- i say, "hey,

here's a picture of sue, ken, their daughter maddie and their son kenny. i was told their son kenny was diagnos diagnosed in utero with heart defects. kenny had two open heart surgeries at advocate hospital outside of chicago, and he had 13 by the time he was 4 months of age. he was staying in the icu and his health bills reached 1 million dollars. when kenny was born in 2013, his dad's health insurance through his employer had a lifetime maximum cap of a million bucks. the affordable care act banned insurance companies from imposing these limits including on the health insurance. that plan went into 2013, six days before kenny's first surgery. if it weren't for the aca, they would have hit the limit in just four months. they told me they would have gone bankrupt. thanks to the affordable care act, kenny was able to get the care he needed. this last picture i want to show you, here it is. wouldn't you want him on your team? i sure would. she gave me permission to share his story today. his mom said, quote, kenny is a real person whose life depends on the a

of the election, be that as it may, stocks are jumping on the development, let's go to gary, and maddie with the national taxpayer union, i do want to talk a little bit about what would be the ultimate cost, nobody is looking a deficit anymore, i get that but if the president was always on board, something were generous and this is more generous, could that close the deal, does that mean the deal is more likely when he himself has upped the price tag on it. >> my organization national taxpayer union has been saying for months, what a negotiating tactic is to talk about topline numbers. what if going on a walk down memory lane we had lawmakers that thought about the impact of their policy rather than whether or not they were spending too much or too little, that's why were in the situation to begin with and why deficits and spending are so out of control because members of congress are talking about the price tag rather than the effect this relief could have, i think it's very important that congress does continue to support the economy, were in very in certain times, whether or not your
