Leslie begins the show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories she covers during the segment: 1. THE GUARDIAN: "Pence hails 'truly remarkable progress' after US sees record new Covid-19 cases" 2. ASSOCIATED PRESS: "Despite pandemic, Trump administration urges end to ACA" 3. AXIOS: "America's workers still aren't protected from the coronavirus" 4. ABC NEWS: "Officials see pushback as more states, counties require people to wear masks in public" Leslie is then joined by Dr. Bob Bollinger, the Raj and Kamla Gupta Professor of Infectious Diseases at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Bollinger holds joint appointments in International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and in Community Public Health at the JH School of Nursing. He is Founding Director of the Center for Clinical Global Health Education (CCGHE). Their website is main.ccghe.net and their Facebook page is Facebook.com/CCGHE. Leslie asks the Doctor whether we know if those who have recovered from COVID-19, and have antibodies from it, can become reinfected. Dr. Bollinger also details the efforts of the world medical community to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Also, here are some of the other the latest COVID-19 related news items that Leslie gets Dr. Bollinger's take on: - Coronavirus cases trending upward in about half of U.S. states, including several reporting record-breaking daily new case counts this week, as the U.S. reported 39,972 daily cases of the virus yesterday, a new daily record - Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stating that the actual number of infections is likely 10 times the number of reported cases, meaning that CDC officials estimate that 20 million Americans, or 6% of the nation's 331 million people, have actually been infected. This also means that the vast majority of the population remains susceptible to contracting COVID-19 - One day after pausing additional efforts to reopen Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday announced another round of restrictions, including closing bars and limiting restaurant occupancy. And in Florida, bars on Friday were prohibited from allowing alcohol consumption. - Today Florida reported nearly 9,000 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours totaling 122,960 cases. The single-day confirmed cases increase was the most for any state since the pandemic began, and it is the 19th day in a row the state has hit a new average high. The median age of new cases is from people in their mid-30s. - Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, told Congress on Tuesday that the next two weeks will be "critical" in how the country addresses the surge in states like Florida, Texas and Arizona.

Leslie begins the show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories she covers during the segment: 1. AP: "Juneteenth: A day of joy and pain - and now national action" 2. CBS NEWS: "Louisville police detective will be fired over Breonna Taylor shooting" 3. AXIOS: "Trump warns protesters against coming to Tulsa rally" 4. USA TODAY: "Oklahoma coronavirus cases surge, hospitalizations rise ahead of Trump's Tulsa rally" Leslie is then joined by two 'Dreamers,' Maria Praeli and Maria Morales, who were directly impacted by yesterday's DACA Supreme Court decision. The high court ruled that the Trump administration improperly ended the "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" program, AKA DACA, in 2017. They discuss what yesterday's DACA Supreme Court victory means to them and their families, as well as President Trump saying that he'll renew his efforts to end DACA. They also talk about what others can do to help in the fight to protect Dreamers. Maria Praeli is Government Relations Manager for FWD.us, a bipartisan political organization that is working to fix the failed immigration and criminal justice systems that have locked too many out of the American dream for too long. Maria moved to the United States from Peru in 1999 when she was five years old to seek medical treatment for her sister, whose leg was amputated in a car accident. Maria's work at FWD.us focuses on strengthening outreach efforts to elected officials, providing education and resources on immigration policy to congressional offices, and working on special projects related to Dreamers and TPS holders. After moving from Peru, Maria attended public schools in Connecticut before earning an associate’s degree in liberal arts from Gateway Community College, and then a bachelor’s degree in political science from Quinnipiac University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Her Twitter handle is @MariaPraeli, and the handle for FWD.us is @FWDus. Maria Morales is a DACA recipient and Teacher at Denver Public Schools. At an early age, Maria knew she wanted to become a teacher. Now that her dream is a reality and the future of DACA is uncertain, Maria fears leaving the classroom and abandoning her students. She moved to the United States with her family when she was only 12 years old. Her family was seeking a better life filled with opportunities for her and her siblings. Maria grew up and attended college in Greenwood, South Carolina. Her DACA status prevented her from paying in-state tuition and teaching in South Carolina, but this did not deter her from continuing her education and pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher. After graduating college, Maria decided to join Teach For America and teach in Colorado. Maria loves the community she is serving, she has built strong relationships with families and students and for her home is here, where her students are.

Leslie begins the show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories she covers during the segment: 1. AUDIO: One of George Floyd's Brothers, Philonise Floyd, Remembers His Brother at this week's Public Memorial Service 2. WASHINGTON POST: "In Georgia, primary day starts with long lines, problems with voting machines — a potential preview of November" Leslie is then joined by Michael Mendelsohn, a Retired Law Enforcement Officer from Charlotte County Sheriff's Office in Florida. Retired Officer Mendelsohn believes that former Minnesota Police Officer, Derek Chauvin, who is now charged with second-degree murder, was wrong for how he physically handled George Floyd during the arrest, which led to Mr. Floyd dying. Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, all while Floyd was saying "I Can't Breathe," and pleading for his life, while two other Officers leaned on Floyd's body, and a fourth Officer told concerned bystanders to keep their distance. Leslie is next joined by Connor Maxwell, a senior policy analyst for Race and Ethnicity Policy at the Center for American Progress. His work focuses on criminal justice, racial justice, diversity, and inclusion issues. His Twitter handle is @Connor__Maxwell, and the handle for the Race and Ethnicity policy team of the Center for American Progress is @CAPTalksRace. Leslie and Connor analyze the new policing reform bill released by Congressional Democrats on Monday, which is called "The Justice in Policing Act of 2020." Here are some of the key parts of the bill: - Revising federal law on criminal police misconduct and qualified immunity reform - Ban no-knock warrants in drug cases at the federal level - Ban chokeholds at the federal level - Establish a national registry of misconduct by law enforcement officers - Require states to report use of force to the Justice Department - Mandate racial bias training at the federal level - Require that deadly force only be used as last resort - Make lynching a federal crime - Require police to use more body and dashboard cameras - Limit the transfer of military equipment to local police departments (more info on the bill can be found here: https://www.vox.com/2020/6/8/21283841/democrats-police-reform-bill-explained-george-floyd) Leslie and Connor also briefly touch on the semantics surrounding the #DefundPolice movement, which does not mean what many people think it means.

NBC NEWS: "Fact check: Coronavirus vaccine could come this year, Trump says. Experts say he needs a 'miracle' to be right." 2.

The Lawyers’ Committee seeks to promote fair housing and community development, economic justice, voting rights, equal educational opportunity, criminal justice, judicial diversity and more. The two discuss protecting the U.S. Postal Service, and expanding vote-by-mail for Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clarke released the following statement about the recent murky departure of Deputy Postmaster General Ronald Stroman: “We are sounding an alarm regarding the departure of Ronald Stroman from the Postal Service. The Postal Service lies at the heart of our democracy and is critical to the success of an unprecedented vote-by-mail system that is needed for a fair and effective 2020 election season. The Postal Service is also a lifeline for vulnerable people who are counting on mail delivery for medication, stimulus payments, and more. Stroman’s untimely departure signals deepening chaos and disruption inside the Postal Service at a critical moment during the 2020 election season. “We call on Congress to convene oversight hearings to determine whether the recent wave of leadership shifts at the Postal Service stands to harm the public by jeopardizing implementation of the Census and vote-by-mail amid the pandemic.” The website for the Lawyers’ Committee is lawyerscommittee.org and their Twitter handle is @LawyersComm. Kristen's handle is @KristenClarkeJD. Additionally, the Lawyers’ Committee powers '866-OUR-VOTE,' which is working 365 days a year to advance and defend your right to vote.

Leslie begins the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories that she covered during the segment: 1. NBC NEWS: "U.S. passes 1 million cases of COVID-19" 2. WASHINGTON POST: "President’s intelligence briefing book repeatedly cited virus threat" 3. WASHINGTON POST: "The U.S. plans to give $500 billion to large companies.

THE DAILY BEAST: "Pence Flouts Mask Policy While Visiting Staff, Patient at Mayo Clinic" She's then joined by Toddy Duffy, Co-Founder of the Law-Firm DuffyAmedeo LLP. Todd attended law school at St. John’s University School of Law and obtained his law degree in two and a half years. After law school, he clerked for Chief Judge Stephen D. Gerling of the Northern District of New York Bankruptcy Court. After his clerkship, Todd was associated with several large Manhattan firms and participated in many of the largest and most complex bankruptcy cases in the last twenty years. Todd is also a past Chair of the Bankruptcy Committee of the New York County Lawyers’ Association. Leslie and Todd discuss the "flood of business bankruptcies" being "likely in coming months," as reported by the Associated Press. Todd explains why, especially during a disaster like the COVID-19 pandemic, bankruptcy does not signify that a business is a failure. Rather, it is a tool that a business can use to level the playing field amid the economic fallout from a disaster that they had no hand in making. Todd's website is DuffyAmedeo.com and his Twitter handle is @ToddEduffy.

Leslie begins the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. She's then joined by Randi Weingarten, President of the 1.7 million-member American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. Leslie and Randi discuss how children and parents are dealing with a huge digital divide, which is why the AFT decided to donate 10,000 books to a network of homeless shelters in NYC to help fill the gap. Randi also shares how the COVID-19 pandemic has "exasperated and exposed every inequality" in both our education system and our country as a whole. Since COVID 19 began, thousands of educators have submitted requests to FirstBook.org for funding to choose and purchase books for their students to support distance learning. A donation to FirstBook.org would help get books into the hands of kids in need across the country. We've posted the link on our video stream and will do the same on all of our social media accounts. So please go to FirstBook.org and donate whatever your budget allows. The website for the American Federation of Teachers is AFT.org and their Twitter account is @AFTunion. President Randi Weingarten's account is @rweingarten. The AFT champions fairness; democracy; economic opportunity; and high-quality public education, healthcare and public services for students, their families and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members’ work.

Leslie begins the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the four news stories that she covers: 1. AXIOS: "White House and Congress reach interim coronavirus funding deal" 2. CNN/AXIOS: "Bipartisan Senate report backs intel community assessment that Russia interfered to help Trump in 2016 election" 3. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "At least 7 new coronavirus cases appear to be related to Wisconsin election's in-person voting, Milwaukee health commissioner says" 4. NBC News: "Two-thirds of voters back vote-by-mail in November 2020" She's then joined by Jean Ross, an Acute Care Nurse, and Co-President of National Nurses United, the country’s largest union and professional organization of registered nurses, with more than 150,000 members nationwide. Leslie and Jean discuss the registered nurses who are holding a protest in front of the White House today. They're protesting to call attention to the tens of thousands of health care workers nationwide who have become infected with COVID-19 due to lack of personal protective equipment (PPE). The nurses, members of National Nurses United (NNU), are practicing social distancing and are reading aloud the names U.S. nurses who are known to have died of COVID-19. Nurses have been demanding that the Trump administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgate an emergency temporary standard so that health care workers are provided with the optimal PPE. NNU petitioned OSHA on March 4, 2020 for such a standard and never received a response. With no federal health and safety standard, nurses and other health care workers in many hospitals across the country have not been provided with adequate PPE to protect them from exposure to the virus. Nurses point out that they require N95 respirators or a higher level or protection as well as other protective gear when taking care of patients who may be infected with COVID-19. With the failure of the Trump administration to protect health care workers, NNU is demanding that Congress include a mandatory OSHA emergency standard in its next COVID-19 legislative package. Leslie and Jean also talk about the healthcare workers being hailed as heroes after standing in the street to block a right-wing protest against Colorado's stay-at-home order. NNU's website is NationalNursesUnited.org and their Twitter and Instagram handle is @NationalNurses.

Leslie begins the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the two news stories that she covers: 1. The New Yorker - "How Did the U.S. End Up with Nurses Wearing Garbage Bags?" 2. NBC News - "Video shows giant trench being dug on NYC's Hart Island to bury coronavirus victims" She's then joined by Dr. Robert Shapiro, Chairman of Sonecon, an economic advisory firm and a Senior Fellow of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. He is an internationally-known economist who has advised, among others, President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Jr., British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and then U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He was Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in the Clinton Administration. Leslie and Dr. Shapiro discuss his new piece for 'Washington Monthly,' titled "The Case for Universal Mandatory COVID-19 Testing." (Article link here --> https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/04/10/the-case-for-universal-mandatory-covid-19-testing/) Dr. Shapiro's website is www.Sonecon.com and his Twitter handle is @RobShapiro.

Leslie kicks off the show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. She is then joined by Karen Hobert Flynn, the President of Common Cause, a nonpartisan grassroots organization with 1.2 million members and supporters dedicated to building a strong democracy and holding power accountable. Karen is a democracy reform activist and leader for more than three decades, including 25-plus years on staff and in state and national leadership positions with Common Cause. The two discuss the $400 million in election funding that Common Cause, and their allies, were successful in persuading Congress to include in the 2 Trillion dollar COVID-19 response bill. They also analyze why, despite this funding being a step in the right direction, given the recent health crisis, states and localities immediately need significantly more resources. These resources are needed to make critical investments to ensure that all voters can participate in free, fair, orderly, and safe elections this year, or else millions of voters could be disenfranchised. The website for Common Cause is CommonCause.org and their Twitter handle is @CommonCause. Karen Hobert Flynn's handle is @KHobertFlynn.

Leslie kicks off the show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the two stories she shares, while also giving her own take on the news: 1. CDC Director Condemns Trump’s ‘China Virus’ Tweet during questioning from Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) - https://www.thedailybeast.com/cdc-director-robert-redfield-condemns-trumps-china-virus-tweet 2. NBC NEWS: "Inside the White House's bungled effort to combat the coronavirus"- https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/mismanagement-missed-opportunities-how-white-house-bungled-coronavirus-response-n1158746 Leslie is then joined by Advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO), and technology futurist, Jamie Metzl. Jaime is also author of the highly acclaimed book "Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the future of Humanity" (releasing in paperback on April 7th, 2020, pre-order link here: https://tinyurl.com/wt2uuv4). His Twitter handle is @JamieMetzl. Here are some of Jamie's key points on the COVID-19 pandemic: - This has the potential to be a much greater global crisis than 9/11 and will require the type of wise global leadership we seem to be lacking. - If ever there was a time for leaders and people to step forward for the common good, this is it. - The name of the game now is to contain the virus as much as possible while we race to develop a vaccine. - It is all but certain that most of our lives will be severely disrupted for a significant period of time. - Because of our evolutionary history, our brains are designed for linear thinking and to assume that the future is likely to be significantly similar to the past. This could well be one of those moments where our world suddenly, and perhaps irrevocably, changes. - By identifying The COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic, the world health organization is merely acknowledging what most everyone around the world is discovering: that this crisis is more global and far more serious than most people appreciated only a few short days and weeks ago. - While efforts to contain this outbreak must proceed, the contagion has already or will soon reach community spread levels where a containment strategy will no longer be viable. - While efforts in China and Korea have shown that extreme measures can at least temporarily slow the spread of this virus, we are likely to see very rapid increases in contagion levels around the world. - Even with a lower than previously reported fatality rate, fatalities are likely to be very significant as the total number of infections grow.

Leslie kicks off the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. She discusses the latest on the chaos surrounding the U.S. response to Coronavirus, as well as President Trump's new comments that he plans to cut Social Security and Medicare (despite previous promises to the contrary). Leslie is then joined by David Cooper, a Senior Economic Analyst at the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank created in 1986 to include the needs of low- and middle-income workers in economic policy discussions. David conducts both national and state-level research, with a focus on the minimum wage, wage theft, employment and unemployment, poverty, and wage and income trends. Leslie and David discuss a new report out from EPI, "Under President Trump, income growth has slowed across the U.S." As Capital & Main reporter Jessica Goodheart writes, "New analysis of government data shows that, since Donald Trump took office, inflation-adjusted income growth has slowed significantly across the U.S.All but two states saw a decline in growth of real median household income under Trump – including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Florida, four states widely regarded as the key electoral battlegrounds that will likely determine the 2020 presidential election.Middle-class incomes grew at a rate of 2.7 percent from 2016 through 2018, compared to a 5.8 percent growth rate from 2014 through 2016 when accounting for inflation."
