"Indoors At sunset the evening before he took the oath of office Joe Biden did something he said the nation needed After a year and a half of COVID-19 deaths To heal we must remember it's hard sometimes to remember But that's how we heal It was a remembrance ceremony For the more than 400,000 Americans who had died A month later Biden was back Today we mark a truly grim heartbreaking milestone 500,071 dead Biden was reading the number from a card he pulled from his pocket A card he carries with him every day But as time has passed he's referenced it less and less often Biden's public statements now focus on the tactical work of fighting the pandemic Not mourning the lives lost Christina kisa yearns for a return to those now distant memorials You know I lost my dad in May of 2020 And I'm still struggling with it Her kisses shared her dad's story at the Democratic National Convention And she started a group called marked by COVID which is trying to draw more attention to the lives lost In hopes of saving others She had hoped Biden would keep marking the grim milestones But then 600,000 came and went with little mention I was shocked Since then the death toll has risen 700,000 800,000 or kiza says it's a missed opportunity to remind people of what's at stake You know I think a lot of people who've been close to the issue are just feeling like the president used COVID to get elected and not much has changed Carrie pisano thought she had made it through the pandemic without her worst fears coming true She's a nurse in San Diego participated in a vaccine trial and volunteered giving COVID shots for months Selfishly I didn't want to know anyone who died from this Then two months ago she got a devastating call Her grandmother was in the hospital and her uncle soon followed I thought they were vaccinated I 100% thought they were vaccinated Grandma was proud of me We talked about it all the time but they weren't Her uncle and grandmother died of COVID within two weeks of each other She had other ailments going on but she did not need to die alone struggling to breathe It was not necessary and it's completely devastating and heartbreaking for me to know that's how my sweet grandmother died Pisano feels like the rest of the country has moved on We're all exhausted we're exhausted about being told to mask We're exhausted about being told not to Sarah loved ones We're exhausted about being told to vaccinated not vaccinate We don't want to see that there's 800,000 Well I'm sorry you don't want to see it This is called reality Biden administration officials say they are focused on the current reality a rapidly shifting fight with a new variant now raging They're trying to save lives and for now their focus isn't on mourning And there's a question of whether it would really make sense to pause on the losses now as the death toll continues to climb says presidential historian tevi Troy If you don't know when it's going to end it's really hard to have a memorial of the deaths And it would be weird to do a marking every 100,000 deaths It's almost like an acknowledgment of failure every time you get that new number in front of all the zeros He understands why Biden's first instinct was to mark the milestones It was a break from his predecessor who didn't mark them at all And there was a sense that there was a light at the end of the tunnel but with vaccines the nightmare would end But obviously it did not We in the United States have a way of commemorating events generally weak commemorate them when they're over David osinski is a medical historian at NYU He points to 1955 with the end of polio in sight President Eisenhower held an event at The White House rose garden to honor Jonas Salk who developed the lifesaving vaccine I have no words in which adequately to express the thanks of myself all the people I know and all 164 million of Americans do say nothing of all the other people in the world for your discover I am very very happy to invest in them This was like commemorating the end of World War I Again David of Shinsuke I mean a war had been won a medical war against an insidious childhood crippler It had been won But this is not that moment Osinski says Biden should hold off on another commemoration until COVID is less frightening and killing far fewer people Each time you do it it kind of loses its impact And that's a very real problem But Joshua sharfstein says drawing more attention to the lives lost could have an impact He specializes in public health at Johns Hopkins and served in the Obama administration He says losing a loved one is terrible No matter your politics So maybe talking about it could help heal a nation divided over COVID I think there's an opportunity to use the common pain that people feel to try to bring the country together Republican pollster Frank luntz agrees He thinks if Biden talked more about those who have died 400,000 since he took office He could move more people to get vaccinated though luntz says it may not be the best politically As a political adviser I'd say to him if you want to be a statesman talk about these key milestones If you want to get reelected ignore them But right now more than a thousand people a day are dying and predicting when this pandemic will end or even just fade away has proven impossible It's hard to look back when you're.

"So excited that you hear him dose of leadership. Welcome to the show. Thank you very much. Richard lied to be with. You should have some fun today. Yeah it's a true honor really your your expertise in your your the leadership junkie of all junkies. I think i love your book. The leader within uh. It's really good and it speaks resonates with me deeply. You're the first person that use these three terms. And i've been saying this a lot for the past few years about i thought the keys to unlocking transformational leadership. The compassionate side for sure is authenticity. Transparency vulnerability. I saw those three words a coin together. Your book a handful of times. And it just. I just love that so. You're the first person that i've seen. That's coin those three together. So i appreciate very nice you to say. Thank you very much really interesting experience. When i was working at the white house as appointments secretary to president ford and it was one of these times when i'd been appointed. And maybe you've had this experience to richard where you know right away that maybe you're not quite up to the job. You got a lot to learn. And wondering as fast as i could at the people i was hanging out with you know and i don't do this to namedrop to suggest you sort of how i was feeling at the time you know. I was there with don rumsfeld. Dick cheney colin powell. Bob gates brent scowcroft henry kissinger. That was the senior team. Now i was a part of that team. And so i and i was new to the white house. Twenty nine years old new politics and that's didn't feel like i was quite up to it quite good now. So we had a meeting of that group in the oval office one day with the president as they drifted out. I hung behind. Speak to present. I said mr president. I speak with these. Yes sit down. I said mr president not experienced enough. I'm not smart enough. I'm gonna make a mistake. It's going to embarrass you. And and here's my letter of resignation. And i put on his desk and he looked at it for a moment and he swivelled his chair to look out across the south lawn of the white house rose garden and he came back to me and he said you know warned. The very fact that you've said this to new to me makes you qualified to be here. The fact that i was vulnerable transparent and honest with him he knew he could trust me from that point in time as a result of that he trusted this whole farm kid with a lot of stuff that he showed it ever trusted to do but it worked out to be a really nice relationship. I learned early on that. Those three words are key to really deep relationships. I agree a hundred percent. And i love that story. I remember reading that book. You're right. That's where the first time i saw this phrase those three words together based on that story. What a great baptism by fire for for being around the greatness in being the witness as you open up the book to a standing there once nixon official he was going to resign. And you're able to witness ford kind of sit. There process. what was happening the gravity of what was happening and then go into action. I love that kind of inside baseball aspect of that. Of course. I remember that moment when it happened to but just to be there to witness that. It's just amazing when you're in your twenties late twenties but still you know just honored to be there to to witness the transfer of power and the ability of someone to grasp the significance of what was happening. You and then act upon that significant at that moment in time was really a profound leadership lessons for me. It is stayed with me my whole life to to gather in the data and the information the facts and then to have a plan to act on that and In the precise moment when you need to act yeah right is some of us could have said well. Let me step back from this for six months and figure this out that day he said i. I'd like to have the following six people here at seven. Am tomorrow morning for a transition team. Me and we walked into that room the next morning. He pulled from his jacket. Five pages of notes. He had a vision for what that transition was going to be. And that was a significant leadership.

"All right. Do you have some open mic? So you know, I want to ask you a question. Jerry Yamamoto? Yeah. Super spreader. Jared, We'll have enabled. Have a podcast 30 for over a week now because Jared decided to go down to Naples and shop mask list or something. I don't know who I am. They won't let him back in the WSB building. We can't do a podcast 30. Unless Jared is in the building. So our plan was that starting tomorrow Wednesday would have podcast 30. Have you cleared that? Is that something I could tell people we're going to do or I have clear two of three hurdles. I have one last person to get clearance from so I think, I goodness Boy, They really are tough. We had a Super spreader party over the weekend. Oh, yeah. What about the Super Bowl feels damn it Now, he said that we'll never have a podcast 30 again as long as we live. I saw a story said that I think, you know, think about it. I mean, if I think it, but it's the truth. You know, I asked a question yesterday, and I think that people don't believe when a host on the talk Station asked the question. They don't believe that they're genuinely curious and want to know the answer. I think they're just being really. They think that a question is a statement of some kind. And my question was genuine. I don't know that we've gotten any response because we had all this coverage, of course of massless mayhem in Tampa. Because Super Bowl party years before the game, we're not social distancing with mask and then obviously wants Tampa wins. They were the first home team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. So the whole city around the stadium Goes crazy, and there was a lot of massless mayhem, They say, you know, more than one reporter thought of that, on their own massless may have its strange We have all these original reporters with their original ideas that all come out sounding kind of The same. But my question which was genuine. Is we hear the super spreader thing? Everybody says it was a super spreader event or don't get involved in a super spreader event. My question was Have we scientifically identified? Peer reviewed scientific study. That says that this particular thing was, in fact, a super spreader event. Meaning had that event not happened. The outbreak that we saw three weeks later also wouldn't have happened. It seems to me that's one of those things where we'll look at it. It's common sense. You get two people in the streets and then three weeks later you get it. Uptick. OK, maybe, But that's not a peer reviewed science. We used just Oh, no. It's anecdotal, and and sometimes things just seem like they make common sense. And maybe they do, although sometimes facts are counterintuitive, but I'm just wondering, has there been a peer reviewed science research study? It said. Yes, we can say that This outbreak was because of Sturgis because a bunch of motorcycle guys got together and had fun. When weekend in the middle of the country. It seems to me like tomorrow We're gonna have headlines with super spreader in it, and nobody's going to think about this, But I'd like to know I have a curious mind. Do we have a peer? Reviewed? Yes, This led to that super spreader event. Yes, Jared. All right. It's from the New York Post here, it says, according to the CS Right Wing Rag. Yes, super spreader. Events are gatherings in which one infectious person infects many other. I know their example. So they have I know what is meant by super spreader event I'm asking. Do we have a definite scientific We know for a fact peer reviewed study. Of knowing that this event was the reason we had an outbreak a couple weeks later. That's why I know what it means. I'm asking. Do we know Fauci says it could be. There's a lot of could bees I'm asking. Do we know for a fact, in hindsight, that we can call something a super spreader event? Because it did. In fact, the community after it happened, It's it lists six examples in this story here. Number one, the White House Rose Garden. Where nearly a dozen people in there Okay, Okay. No. Let's see that falls under the category of it makes common sense to me. You had a lot of people in the garden White House Rose Garden, and then there was an outbreak. It's still not what I'm asking for. Is a peer reviewed scientific study that said, We came to the conclusion. I mean, it makes sense to most people, including myself that if a bunch of people are together in a Rose Garden, and then there's an outbreak amongst those people, but that's not science That's not peer reviewed science that would just appear to be common sense. They were together and then there was an outbreak. You're telling me is these examples are not peer reviewed scientific studies. It's just Hey, they were together. There was an outbreak. It's obvious the seriously almost and I know he almost list. This is fact almost listen. This fact as if it is true, that's my question. That's Mike. That's what I'm saying is. Can it be labeled this fact I don't think scientifically speaking. You can call something. Fact or close to fact. If you don't have a study, that's not only your study, but then it's peer reviewed your peers review it. They redo your study, and they come to the same results that you do. It's a different way of it may very well be that makes sense to me if a bunch of people were together and then Ah, a lot of those people end up with covert 19. But it's in a world where a lot of other people are coming up with covert 19 as well and they were in other places. Besides that Rose garden so E mean, I understand why it's common sense. But the news throws around super spreader as if it's a scientific term and all I'm getting to is I don't think it's a peer reviewed scientific term. One of the other examples that use here is the knowledge Swingers Convention to is one of the examples in the well, that's super special. That was more than just Cove in. Yeah, that was spreading this. You know what they spread? That was a super spreader of joy is what that was of freedom. And and 11 person whose nickname was super spreader. But other than that, that that was, in fact that orgy wa snack here, Pyra Beauty, All right? Yeah. Do you have Some other stories for me. I'm open to anything. I'm super spread right now. Nobody think over my first spread.

Goya In Three Boycotts
"Goya is a giant in the united states. Food industry today. The company is worth over one billion dollars and employs over four thousand people in dozens of factories throughout the country and abroad. It's also a staple in latino homes across the us. Pino is a huge part of goya's consumer base after goya foods. Ceo robert hunan away spoke in the white house rose garden last summer. Producer governor elevator be realized. She had a lot of questions about the brand receiving. All of this attention gabardine started digging into goya itself. The family behind the brand and some of the past controversies that the company has weathered through governors reporting. She discovered a common theme repeating itself over the years. Something bigger than any single news. Headline goya is more than pantry. Staples and spices to its customers. Specifically it's latino customers for many that the united latina's goya is like a badge of identity. So that's a pretty tall order for a company a gabby and welcome to the show. Hi maria so tell us what happened that you were like I need to spend some more time thinking about goya food products and that this led you down a rabbit hole so yeah before the boycott i had no idea who the union-wide family was. I grew up with goya beans but didn't know or never really thought about how. This company became a symbol of latino identity in the us. Clearly it wasn't about how much people love their beans adobo. It was something much deeper than that. Goya evoke emotions for many latinos and in researching goya. I found three separate boycotts spanning decades. Were goya's carefully crafted. Image as a symbol of latino identity was thrown into question. One in miami. One in new york and puerto rico and the other one from the summer and together. They helped not so rosy story about this powerful company. But before i jump in. It's important to understand. The history of the brand in how the unanimous family used their immigrant background to craft their business image. Okay so we know that. Goya was founded in the nineteen thirties. By on prudence your own anway and his wife catalina and don't pull. The nco was actually a merchant from spain right. He arrived in puerto rico from spain and nineteen o two then moved to the united states and started a small business in new york city importing goods from spain. That business eventually became goya foods rubber yunan way goya's currency. Eeo often tells his grandfather's story he mistakes from home and he. He had an idea that other immigrants also mistake from home done. Prudencio started importing goods like olive oil and other hand fish products to his shop on the lower east side serving the spanish emigrant community but then ends up being really Latino brand for the entire population. I mean it grows and this is their primary. Customers are latinos and latinas. So tell us the story of how don't do the answer becomes so successful in expanding this business after world war two. Us factory owners took advantage of the depression in puerto rico to outsource cheap labor from the island and in the span of just one year the puerto rican population in new york city nearly quadrupled from thirteen thousand to over fifty thousand people. I spoke with puerto rican food historian professor crews miguel ortiz quadra. About how you non capitalized on this. Migration wave to grow his business. The political and economical racial love voting Rico in the nineteen forties. These open a huge door Success of goya foods huntington bank element with Habits was historic. Make no mistake immigrant himself or not. I know that this big i migrated would throw with. Its foot my maurice food memories. I mean that's a great concept right this notion of you know eating rice and beans as a kid or or you know making fresh tamales over the holidays with your family. I mean there is this thing memories and we all have them yeah. It's this idea. That food is personal. Professor ortiz quadra often refers to this term food or palate memories. I coined the term in his book eating puerto rico and he uses this concept to describe the intimate bond with food formed by cultural and historical practices. So this idea that the food we eat reflects our values choices and culture and its central and understanding. Goya's rise so more. Puerto ricans moved into new york city and there was the experience of racism and xenophobia. That a lot of outside communities experience puerto ricans are not immigrants right because they're just moving from one part of the united states to another part of the united states but as it was in new york city that wasn't welcoming to many puerto ricans that increases the need for food to be a place where you find solace and comfort right exactly for this. Oh so important. If can't trace you back to your homeland the To the homeland and to the foot try and so forth in the diaspora done prudencio. Continue to build goya. The city's growing emigrant community from latin america. He knew that capitalizing on food memories was a powerful business strategy.

It emerged that he was found or pronounced dead at around midday on the 25th of November on then, a little investigation started as to when he had last been seen alive, and it appeared that it hadn't been since 11 p.m. the night before, which seemed like rather a long time for somebody who's allegedly under medical supervision. Various people had to Give their accounts. What was incredibly married on in if you like was the doctor in charge of the team gave a press conference because he's obviously scared. I mean, it's impossible to know whether There will be any criminal charges found or levied against anybody. It's almost like we now want to find somebody guilty for murdering his death because it's such a terrible Unimaginable, painful event. I want some of that news conference. He already was. It was uncomfortable, and he got quite emotional at the end. Didn't hear me And I guess he feels like the fingers sort of being pointed at him in so I mean, it is, isn't it? But I guess the idea that everybody in the country still mourning Taken. Maradona's death is now focusing on him. I'd like to be quite careful about saying everybody in the country is morning. A lot of people are very angry at the public. Funeral and the mixing of folks and there's been some angry letters written, and it's not even a political issue. Just people saying Look, we've all lost our relatives and I loved ones dying alone. Now This is kind of almost trump in White House Rose Garden type event what the doctor explained today, Maradona was medically discharged. He was in full control of the situation, and he could have dismissed any of us any point. He didn't want medical care. Eventually, the doctor just broke down. I think he's in a mixture of both fear and possibly sadness. 15 years ago when he had his stomach stapling operation, his doctor at the time. Dr Kay, who had been his position friend, his life told me in an interview that they went to recovering Cuba because Cuba was the only country in the world that would let them And because nobody wants married, don there to die in the on their patch. That's the literal quote from the doctor. Nobody wants married honor to die on their patch because of the absolute chaos that wouldn't see you. And I think we're getting a snippet. Now of what's probably to come. It won't just stay focused on these few hours before his death. Marcela Mora e Arauco, speaking to the area from point a scientist.

I think next week we're going to see even more roll back. This is what's happening across the country that is somewhat inevitable. We talking about the colder weather people being indoors more. Um, but, you know, I think you just kind of have to understand the math here right? And what the actual game changing part of this planet, which is We're talking about this is this is the part that I actually think is the most important when we're talking about, Okay, we have to close indoor guiding, or we have to close occupancy in a gym. Or we have to limit activity and indoor spaces like the movies here for. I don't know who's going to movie theaters right now, But okay. Not me. Sorry. Those types of rollbacks for seeing that is based off of The what's called the incidents of like a new cases per 100,000. Okay, right now in the bay Area that 9.9 per day. Okay, um, that that's 9.9 cases. Per 100,000. It's growing. But that's also based on this idea that you don't know amongst the people who are coming into your indoor restaurants or indoor gym or indoor space. How many of them are positive because you're not doing any testing. But if you're doing testing You have a different you have a different knowledge about who's actually in your space, right? If you test everyone who walks through that door, you're only vulnerability is the accuracy and sensitivity of the test. Correct. You understand everybody. Obviously we're well aware of that. Yes. Okay. Now the accuracy and sensitivity is a really big deal because most of the rapid tests that you see them like the infamous White House Rose Garden Super spreader event, which we have You know what you have. People continue to test positive for and then again on election night. They're using a rapid test that is in an urgent that based test Now people lies start to glaze over when you start to explain the difference here, But I'll just Do it in terms of the antigens that based test It couldn't have between 30 and 50% of infected people. It's not that accurate, okay, it'll generally effective, you know, but it's not. It's like it's better than nothing. And it definitely has some uses if you're using it. Let's say at school or or in a college where you're testing the same people every single day. So every single time you test somebody that gives a better chance. You're gonna catch it right, especially Because people generally don't become infectious with Cove it and tell day three or day four of infection. So let's say you were you caught it. It didn't catch you on day one. It didn't catch one day to It didn't catch you on day three because the energon test doesn't catch it before Day four, Okay? But my day 56 or seven it should catch you one of those days of your testing every day. The PCR based test which the Warriors are talking about, that's a rapid test. It's 15 minutes. Shallow nasal swab. I think that's important for people to understand Shallow like booger level, Okay, Like, like, you know. Yeah, I think about touching very descriptive brain booger level. Okay, levels go down. Bacon burger level, Okay, And this test is 99% accurate. There's only three companies who have earned emergency FDA authorization to make these tests. Okay, One of them's in the Bay Area of Bisbee. Started by a Stanford grad. Let's claim that some Stan forgot myself, then the other tours to the palace for yet they're the one called Q Health and Mesa by a text. They just started making these things this summer and this fall, so that's how like when you see Saturday Night live, that's what senator lives is using. They're using that kind of testing. Plus, they're wearing masks. Those tests generally caused 152 $100 a test. Okay like that very expensive to do on a large scale. You could do it at small venues and like I was reading it three. You're really interesting. New York Times story about this. And, uh, it was August when the first started to get get approved. They were calling that this is this is the new velvet ropes. Rapid PCR test of the new velvet rope like if you wanna have a gathering, If you want to have an event, you've seen this like in small parties. Small gathering. And even when you do those rapid PCR test, you should still wear a mask. Some people some places hasn't like they had a doctor featured in that New York Times story. I saw Charging $500 a test for partygoers at the hands of in the Hamptons. Okay, This is what the Warriors are talking about doing on a scale where 50% capacity at Chase Center.

Bloomberg Daybreak
What to know about the first 2020 presidential debate
"Preparations for the first debate tonight between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Bloomberg Politics editor Kathleen Hunter joins us for more on all these stories. A CZ Michael mentioned in the news report. Plenty of anticipation for these two candidates just to be on a stage together for the first time. What are you going to be watching for this evening? Cape? Well, I agree. I think that's one of the most interesting dynamics and it's kind of an intangible, but I think it's one of the most important things every time we have the first of the presidential debate in the season, the general election debate And I think it's just going to be interesting to see the dynamic between Trump and Biden how they play off to each other. And so that's going to be something that I think everyone is going to be watching for. I also think obviously we're going to see the residents that these recent series of stories from the New York Times about Trump's tax record the degree to which Biden is able to use those to try to land some You know attacks on Trump during the debate. I think the you know expectation is that certainly it gives him some some additional fodder in a chance to sort of paint a contrast between you know himself and the president in terms of their upbringing and background of perspective, You know, Biden has often talked about Trump as Park Avenue candidate, whereas he's someone that you know, grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and had a very middle class upbringing and I would expect it to continue that narrative in the context of these recent tax reports. But, you know, I think that whether or not he's really successful in getting any ground on that remains way have to think that hey, could find some avenues for that. Giving some of the topics Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. So the moderator tonight has said he's going to lay out a TTE this debate this evening, including the economy when it comes to domestic policy, which Is going to be much of the focus this evening. Is there a sense that the Trump campaign is on the defensive right now given the handling over the corona virus pandemic and the racial protests going on in the country right now? I think that's absolutely true. Certainly from the Biden campaign's perspective, I mean, not when it comes to the economy, not the campaign that Trump wanted to be running. You know, if you think back to January when he spoke of the elbows, and he talked about You know how economy was doing so well under his watch, obviously, in March that all changed with the Corona virus. But I would expect Trump to continue to beat the economic drum and talk about the recovery that he expects America to see in the coming months and talk about the need, as he has on the campaign trail for him to continue in his role to tryto help nurse that recovery forward And so I think that that's going to be an important message from the Trump campaign. If you look at the polling It's insignificant to note that Trump filled its relatively high marks, at least compared to other topics on his handling of the economy. And so I think that that's an area where he's certainly going to try to focus and that's why you know, it may be significant. That Biden, you know, has a daughter now about the tax records in order to try to attack him with that. Interestingly, the day before this debate, of course, as the world crossed the million death mark from the Corona virus, the Trump Administration held this event at the White House Rose Garden yesterday, talking about rapid testing, potentially Trying to show that it's getting more of a handle on the pandemic is some of that at play here. Oh, I think absolutely. I mean, I think that the reality of the current virus pandemic globally and specifically in America, where you know which has the highest number of deaths of any country from the pandemic, I think is one that is certainly a huge liability for Trump reelection bid. So anything that the Trump administration, Khun Beauty try to counter that, you know, I think it's certainly something we continue to see them to Dio see them to see them do And I think that one of the front on which they Tried to counter that is by talking about increased text testing and increase access to testing. And so I'm not surprised that doing that I'd expect that to continue, but I think that that you know has to be weighed against, you know, I I think a lot of what the Trump administration talked without when it talks about testing is an increase. From a fairly low base level of testing. That's been done, so they like to talk about how more testing is happening, But you know if you start out with very low level testing, it's not hard to say that. You think that exponentially wants to get to in

Convention And you tonight. know, if you or Last just a couple night, of people First do Lady get Melania these notifications, Trump broke with I'm sure other speakers you'll and acknowledged The racial strife in the country as well as deaths from the Corona virus. I want to acknowledge the fact that since smart our lives have changed drastically, the invisible enemy called 19 swept across our beautiful country and impacted all of us. My deepest sympathy goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one and my prayers are with those who are suffering. Joining us now is NPR. White House correspondent Tamara Keith tend the first lady spoke from the White House Rose Garden, which is unusual, and President Trump's staged a naturalization ceremony in the White House last night for this convention. He also gave a surprise pardon to a convicted bank robber who's Turned his life around, Tell us about the unprecedented use of the White House and presidential power in a very political convention. Yeah, there is a complete and total blurring of the official and the political. You had the White House at the White House. The president conducting This naturalization ceremony yesterday. A CZ we understand it during the day in the White House, posted the video to the White House YouTube page. That video was then picked up and aired as part of the RNC convention. It is unusual. It is unheard of. There is a law called the Hatch Act that is meant to prevent the blurring of these lines and prevent Public officials from doing electoral politics on on government time and and using government resource is the White House is trying to skirt around these rules on and we should just say that President Trump and his staff have have been accused of violating the Hatch Act many times before during his administration on and they've largely just brushed it off. Well and on that note, By the way, there was another speech last night that's raising some red flags. Democrats in Congress say they will investigate Secretary of State Mike Pompeo forgiving a political speech to the convention from an official diplomatic mission overseas. Listen I'm speaking to you from beautiful Jerusalem Looking out over the old city. I have a big job as Susan's husband and Nick's dad. Susan and Nick are more safe and their freedoms more secure because President Trump has put his America first vision into action who may not have made unpopular in every foreign capital. But it's worked. Tamara Secretaries of state don't speak at political conventions typically, do they they purposely avoided they sometimes goto other parts of the world to be nowhere near the convention. Of course, secretary of State Pompeo was in Jerusalem. On, and the State Department has said that no official re sources were used for that video on and as you heard there, he said, My job is to be Susan's husband and Nick's dad. Wink wink nod nod. A Ziff to say no, I'm not here is the secretary of state. I'm just here is a guy you know it. This is just yet another example of the blurring of these lines and you know there's a reason why Secretary of State have have avoided this, Which is that you know politics is supposed to stop at the water's edge. There's you know, the The the The State Department frequently tells other countries that they shouldn't have this sort of use of the apparatus of government for politics, and yet here it was happening.
