1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: For the last thirty years, whenever a calamity happened in America,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the drive by media had a standard storyline. No matter

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: what the circumstances were, Women and minorities were said to

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: be the hardest hit. Hurricane, women and minority's hardest hit. Flood, fire, famine,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: economic downturn, always the same, Women and Minority's hardest hit.

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: And he became the punch line of a joke I

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: told about the apocalypse. I said, a New York Times

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: headline would be world end tomorrow, Women and Minority's hardest hit.

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: But that's no longer to go to narrative. It took

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: a pandemic to change the storyline. On Monday, the Amazon

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Prime Washington Post had this headline, Undocumented workers among those

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: hit first and worst by the coronavirus shutdown. You legal

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: aliens in the construction and hospitality sectors have already lost

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: their jobs. As the post. Illegal aliens working in agriculture

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: and healthcare are at higher risk of being exposed to

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. They don't have access to paid sick leave,

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: health insurance, and the Social Safety Net, so they are

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the new hardest hit. Don't don't get me wrong, I'm

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: not making light of anybody suffering, but the tens of

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: thousands hit by this virus have been hit hard. Meanwhile,

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the entire United States economy has been hardest hit, virtually

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: shut down with no end in sight, but every government

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: worker is still being paid
