The Damage Report: July 7, 2020

Hosts: John IadarolaViviana Vigil   Guests: Ken Klippenstein
The Kushner family and other wealthy elites siphon money from small businesses aka their country clubs. Mom-and-Pop businesses aren’t getting anything. John Iadarola and Viviana Vigil break it down on The Damage Report.

While the Small Business Administration's (SBA) data disclosure reveals just a fraction of recipients of forgivable Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, critics voiced concern that large, wealthy firms were able to readily access millions of dollars in relief funds as more vulnerable companies frequently received less money than they applied for—or nothing at all." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

And Fox News figures are apparently testing out this new public relations campaign. “The virus is with us, but we need to live with it," one administration official told NBC News last week. The Washington Post reported Monday that the administration hopes “Americans will grow numb to the escalating death toll and learn to accept tens of thousands of new cases a day”: White House officials also hope Americans will grow numb to the escalating death toll and learn to accept tens of thousands of new cases a day, according to three people familiar with the White House’s thinking, who requested anonymity to reveal internal deliberations. Americans will “live with the virus being a threat,” in the words of one of those people, a senior administration official. “They’re of the belief that people will get over it or if we stop highlighting it, the base will move on and the public will learn to accept 50,000 to 100,000 new cases a day,” said a former administration official in touch with the campaign." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Elon Musk started up a flame war with a reporter who shared a photo of Musk with Ghislaine Maxwell, a well-known associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Musk, however, claimed that it was just a photobomb. It started with Ken Klippenstein, a reporter for The National, sharing a tweet on July 2 that featured the photo, writing "Be a shame if people just replied to all of Elon Musk’s tweets with this pic." Elon Musk also tweeted on July 2, writing "Tesla will make fabulous short shorts in radiant red satin with gold trim." After someone replied to the tweet with the photo, Musk wrote, "Someone is paying for hundreds of bots & trolls to push this lame Vanity Fair photobomb pic. I wonder who …" After someone told Elon that it was Klippenstein who started the campaign to reply to Musk's tweets with the photos, the Tesla CEO replied saying "Oh yeah, Klip Einstein, pseudojournalist & douche-about-town." Klippenstein didn't let the insult get by him, quoting the tweet and writing, "Elon this is one of the worst dunks I’ve ever seen. Let me put this in terms you’ll understand: If you were my employee, I’d fire you.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

While the ruling was not a total victory for the climate—the high court said other pipeline projects can proceed as environmental reviews are conducted—green groups applauded the delay of Keystone XL construction as further confirmation of their view that the Canada-owned pipeline will never be built thanks to legal obstacles and fierce grassroots opposition." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

"I lack the words to make sense of this tragic loss," Fort Hood's deputy commanding general, Maj. Gen. Scott Efflandt, said at a news conference. The Army Criminal Investigation Command determined that the remains found Tuesday near the Leon River in Bell County were those of Guillen, 20, using DNA samples. Efflandt said Guillen's family was notified Sunday." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The move may affect thousands of foreign students who come to the United States to attend universities or participate in training programs, as well as non-academic or vocational studies. Universities nationwide are beginning to make the decision to transition to online courses as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. At Harvard, for example, all course instruction will be delivered online, including for students living on campus. For international students, that opens the door to them having to leave the US." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

In fact, 73% of U.S. adults say that in thinking about the problems the country is facing from the coronavirus outbreak, the worst is still to come. With the Trump administration and many state governors actively considering ways to revive the stalled U.S. economy, the public strikes a decidedly cautious note on easing strict limits on public activity. About twice as many Americans say their greater concern is that state governments will lift restrictions on public activity too quickly (66%) as say it will not happen quickly enough (32%). President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak – especially his response to initial reports of coronavirus cases overseas – is widely criticized. Nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) say Trump was too slow to take major steps to address the threat to the United States when cases of the disease were first reported in other countries." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

On Monday, the president undercut his own team's efforts at damage control with a pair of tweets. The first criticized NASCAR’s decision to ban the Confederate flag from its races and demanded that the sport’s top Black driver apologize for an episode that, by all accounts, was not his fault. The second chastised sports franchises considering ditching offensive team names. “Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX?” Trump wrote on Twitter. “That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!” The tweet left the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, struggling to explain the president’s position, though she said he had informed her that he had no intention of taking a position either way on the Confederate flag ban and was merely criticizing what McEnany described as a “rush to judgment” about the situation." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The Wednesday night vote was 220-210. Democrats reintroduced the bill in January, after passing it in 2019, banking on the party's narrow majority in the Senate to get it passed through both chambers this cycle. The bill seeks to "to expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes."" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

"I don't understand the political or economic wisdom in allowing Trump to give more people relief checks than a Democratic administration. People went far too long without relief last year," the New York Democrat told the Washington Post's Jeff Stein. "If anything we should be more generous, not more stingy.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The interview turned to the lighter side, however, when Piro asked Cawthorn to react to President Joe Biden omitting Seuss from his proclamation for Read Across America Day." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
