AND WHERE ARE THEY?
>> WELL, YOU HAVE DESCRIBED THE
SITUATION VERY WELL, EXCEPT I’LL
PUT SOME NUMBERS ON IT.
WE PASSED A BILL ON MAY 15th.
AT THAT TIME MITCH McCONNELL
PRESSED THE PAUSE BUTTON.
SINCE THAT TIME 4.6 MILLION MORE
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED.
FOUR AND A HALF MILLION MORE
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED AND
96,000 MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAUSE, MITCH
McCONNELL.
TOO BAD YOU DIDN’T TELL THE
VIRUS TO PAUSE.
OKAY.
SO WE HAVE ENGAGED IN THESE
NEGOTIATIONS.
BUT JUST LOOK AT IT THIS WAY.
WHAT FURTHER EVIDENCE DOES
ANYONE NEED THAT THIS PRESIDENT
DIDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT THE
SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS THAN TO SEE
WHAT HE DID, VANDALIZING, BY THE
WAY, THE WHITE HOUSE BY BRINGING
ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE, NO MASK,
NO DISTANCING AND THE REST?
HE SLAPPED SCIENCE RIGHT IN THE
FACE.
AND WHAT A BAD EXAMPLE THAT WAS.
SO IF WE ARE GOING TO SUCCEED IN
NEGOTIATIONS, WE HAVE TO LOOK TO
THE SCIENCE.
WE WERE TOLD OVER AND OVER THAT
WE NEED THREE MILLION TESTS A
DAY.
THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE IN THE
HEROES ACT.
BUT THEY JUST WON’T DO IT.
THEY WON’T TAKE UP A STRATEGIC
PLAN TO DO THAT.
THEY WON’T DO STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS SO
ESSENTIAL TO OUR HEROES.
IT’S CALLED THE HEROES ACT FOR
HEALTH CARE AND FIRST RESPONDERS
AND SANITATION, TRANSPORTATION,
TEACHERS, TEACHERS, TEACHERS,
FLOOD SUPPLIERS AND THE REST.
SO WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM HERE
BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT -- THEY DO
NOT UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF
THE PROBLEM.
THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE
SCIENCE AND WHAT SCIENCE IS
ADVISING AND, HENCE, WE HAVE
THIS SITUATION WHERE I THINK
THAT WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS SAYING
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE
NOW WE’RE COMING INTO SCHOOL
THIS WEEK, KIDS ARE GOING TO
SCHOOL AND THE REST, HE’S SAYING
TO THEM, CHOOSE ME OVER YOUR
CHILD BECAUSE I’M NOT GOING TO
SPEND THE MONEY IT TAKES TO MAKE
IT SAFE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
I’M NOT GOING TO DO WHAT IT
TAKES TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THIS
VIRUS WHEN KIDS GO TO SCHOOL TO
HAVE THE VENTILATION, THE
SPACING, THE TEACHERS THAT YOU
NEED TO DO THAT.
THIS IS APPALLING.
BUT AGAIN, YET AGAIN, ANOTHER
REASON WHY IF ONLY THEY WOULD
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCIENTISTS,
TESTING, TRACING, TREATING,
SPACING, MASKS, SANITATION AND
THE REST.
INSTEAD THE PRESIDENT JUST WANTS
TO LET NOW HERD IMMUNITY, WHICH
IS TOTALLY DISCREDITED BY ANYONE
