THIS IS GIL CISNEROS REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA’S 39th DISTRICT. ONE OF THE THINGS I PROMISED TO DO WAS TO DO AND HOLD TOWN HALLS. THIS IS NOT MY PREFERRED METHOD OF DOING THIS. I WOULD RATHER MUCH DO IT IN PERSON WHERE I CAN SEE YOUR FACES. BUT BEING IN THE SITUATION WE’RE UNDER NOW WITH COVID-19, THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE. SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR JOINING ME ON THE TELEPHONE TOWNHALL. HALL. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET AS MANY QUESTIONS AS WE CAN IN THE NEXT HOUR ON THIS CALL. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE, ON MY WEBSITE, YOU FIND INFORMATION, RESOURCES, AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CRISIS. INTO THE TOWN HALL, I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND TALK ABOUT THE WORK THAT MY TEAM AND I HAVE DONE DURING -- THE WORK WE’VE DONE FOR CALIFORNIA’S 39th DISTRICT IN THIS CORONAVIRUS NOW. MY STAFF RESPONDED TO 550 THE CRISIS FROM CONSTITUENTS WHO NEEDED HELP AND SUPPORT. WE’RE WORKING TIRELESSLY TO ANSWER ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS AN AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE. WE WORKED TO BRING BACK OVER 130 MILLION IN CORONAVIRUS AID FOR CITIES, COUNTIES, HEALTH CENTERS, STUDENTS, UNIVERSITIES, AND OUR COLLEGES ALL IN THE 39th DISTRICT. CONGRESS ALSO PASSED THREE BIPARTISAN CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE BILLS AIMED AT SUPPORTING OUR WORKER, FAMILIES, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, AND SMALL BUSINESSES, AND THE MOST RECENT CORONAVIRUS BILL, THE CARES ACT, $2.2 TRILLION STIMULUS PACKAGE. 100 -- OF THAT $2.2 TRILLION, $150 BILLION WAS PROVIDED FOR STATE AND LOCAL CITIES, $260 BILLION IN EXPANDED UNEMPLOYMENTBENEFITS. BENEFITS. MORE THAN $375 BILLION IN SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF, AND $200 BILLION WAS DIRECTED FOR THE HOSPITALS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, AND HEALTH RESEARCH. IT ALSO CREATED THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT WHICH IS THE STIMULUS CHECK IN ORDER TO BRING BACK IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SMALL BUSINESSES. BUT OUR WORK IS FAR FROM OVER. I’VE BEEN WORKING BOTH WITH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. ON A -- ON ANOTHER STIMULUS PACKAGE THAT WILL DELIVER MORE RELIEF TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SMALL BUSINESSES. AND WITH THAT, WE’LL KEEP MOVING FORWARD. I WANT TO THANKS YOU FOR JOINING ME. AS A REMINDER, PRESS STAR 3 ON YOUR PHONE AT ANY TIME TO. SO LET’S GET STARTED. DIRK? >> STEVEN ON THE LINE, STEVEN, GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE? >> OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU’VE DONE. I DO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING CALIFORNIA HAS DONE WELL IS THE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHICH HAS HELPED TO FLATTEN OUT THE CURVE. COURSE CLOSINGS. ARE 32 STATES THAT ALLOW GOLF BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER IT HIKING, WALKING, OR RUNNING. COURSES ARE ALL CLOSED. AND MY QUESTION ABOUT IT -- I QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF IT IS BECAUSE THE GOLF COURSES HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PROTECT THE PLAYERS. THE DOORS ARE OPEN TO THE CLUB -- TO THE PRO SHOP. YOU DON’T TOUCH ANY HANDLES. THEY ONLY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS, NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED. THE CARTS HAVE BEEN SANITIZED. THERE ARE ONLY SINGLE RIDERS IN WASHERS, THE RAKES, THE CUPS ARE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ON THE GREEN SO YOU DON’T TOUCH THE PIN OR REACH INTO A HOLE. AND YOU TALK ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING? WE ARE AT LEAST 200 TO 250 YARDS AWAY FROM THE NEXT FOUR PEOPLE THAT ARE EVEN IN FRONT OF US OR BEHIND US. I GUESS I JUST FEEL IT’S SAFER FOR ME TO GO ON A GOLF COURSE THAN IT IS FOR ME TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. I’M WONDERING WHY THAT’S TAKEN AWAY FROM US WHY SO MANY OTHER STATES HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT IT IS SOCIAL DISTANCING AND IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR EXERCISE. ANY IDEAS WHY? >> BECAUSE, STEVE, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. I’VE NEVER BEEN THAT GOOD OF A GOLFER. I LIKE TO GET ON THE COURSE MYSELF. I DO HAVE SEVERAL RELATIVES WHO ARE VERY GOOD GOLFERS, LIKE THEY BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION TOO. YOU KNOW, REGARDING THAT MATTER, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLYMUNICIPALITIES. MUNICIPALITIES. MUNICIPALITIES. IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE BACK TO THEM AND KIND OF RAISE THAT ISSUE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW AT THE BEGINNING WERE YOU CAN KEEP A BETTER DISTANCE ON THE GOLF COURSE THAN STORES WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVINGTO GO SHOPPING. TO GO SHOPPING. CONGRESSMAN. OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM SHOCK. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION FOR >> GOOD EVENING, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS STUNT. -- THIS OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THE EARLIER QUESTION ABOUT GOLF. RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB UP INUPLAND IS OPEN. UPLAND IS OPEN. THERE ARE MANY OTHER CLUBS THAT ARE OPEN. SO, YES, SIR, PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET US OUT THERE TO ENJOY I WANT TO THANK YOUR STAFF FOR TAMMY PANG, SHE’S HELPING ME ON A SOCIAL SECURITY ISSUE. I COME TO THE QUESTION. I HAVE APPLIED MORE THAN TEN DAYS AGO FOR THE EIDL. AND MY APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED IT. BUT THE ANSWER I GOT IS I SHOULD HAVE A RESPONSE WITHIN A WEEK. WELL, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHEN ILE MIGHT HEAR FROM THEM AND WHEN WE MIGHT GET FUNDED? >> THANK YOU FOR MY QUESTION. IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN ON A LOT OF PEOPLE’S MIND. WE ACTUALLY DID DO A FACEBOOK LIVE EVENT LAST WEEK. WHAT THE PROCESS WAS FORAPPLYING. APPLYING. I’M GLAD YOU’RE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND APPLY FOR THESE LOANS. PEOPLE, NOT ONLY HERE IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA BUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT ARE APPLYING FOR THESE LOANS. IS THEY’RE BASICALLY OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW. THEY DON’T HAVE THE PERSONNEL AND STAFF AND THEY’RE WORKING AS HARD AS THEY CAN TO GO AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE LOANS ARE POSSIBLE. SO, HOPEFULLY YOU RECEIVED THE $10,000 ADVANCE, THAT’S SOMETHING YOU COULD HAVE REQUESTED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS. THAT YOU COULD GET IT WITHIN THREE DAYS. AND HOPEFULLY THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO FOR YOU. BUT, I KNOW THE LARGER LOAN IS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR. BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THEM KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR THESE FUNDS AND I KNOW IT’S -- THERE’S A LOT OF PRESSURE ON SMALL BUSINESSES EXPENSES, YOU HAVE RENT THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY, SUPPLIES THAT YOU NEED TO BUY. YOU HAVE PERSONNEL THAT YOU WE’LL CONTINUE TO RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH THE SBA. BUT RIGHT NOW, OTHER THAN THE OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW. AND WE WILL LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO CONTINUE WORKING TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE AND GET MORE THEM OUT. CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MY OFFICE. TAMMY HAS BEEN GREAT. SHE’S PROVIDING A LOT OF SERVICES TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, AS WELL AS TO THE REST OF MY STAFF. AND MY STAFF. LET US KNOW IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AND YOU DON’T SEE THAT MONEY COMING UP SOON, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD RAISE WITH THE SBA. >> CONGRESSMAN CISNEROS, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE PEOPLE LISTENING ON THE TELEPHONE TONIGHT, WE ALSO HAVE PEOPLE LISTENING ON THE WEB. I HAVE A QUESTION AND A COMMENT -- A COMMENT AND A QUESTION FROM THE WEB. FROM M ADELINA. THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH THE CARES ACT, JUST CURIOUS, HOW DID CONGRESS GET FUNDING FOR THE CARES ACT? CONGRESS APPROVES THE FUNDING. WE WERE ABLE TO WORK ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS, BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. THAT’S SOMETHING I WOULD SAY I’M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE DID TOGETHER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO GET THIS BILL PASSED. IT WAS THE LARGEST FUNDING BILL THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS EVER DONE. WHERE WE KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE ARE IN NEED, THE AMERICAN WORKERS, SMALL BUSINESSES, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE RELYING ON THAT FUNDING, YOU KNOW, OUR HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND BEEN OVERWHELMED. SO THEY NEEDED FUNDING AS WELL. TO WORK ON AND ABLE TO GET IT DONE. WE’RE DELIGHTED TO WORK ON THE FUNDING. LIKE I SAID, WE’RE ABLE TO GET OVER $130 MILLION BROUGHT BACK INTO THE DISTRICT. THAT’S GOING TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY, THAT’S GOING TO HELP OUR CITIES MAINTAIN A LOT OF SERVICES THAT THEY NEED TO PROVIDE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. IT’S GOING TO ALLOW OUR UNIVERSITIES TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENTS. IT’S GOING TO HELP THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN PROVIDE THE CARE. THEY’RE OUT THERE ON THE FRONT LINES HELPING INDIVIDUALS, YOU KNOW, WITH EVERYTHING THAT NEED TO BE DONE AND MAKING SURE WE’RE TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE. SO, IT’S BEEN GREAT. I REALLY -- LIKE YOU SAID, IT’S ONE OF MY PROUDEST MOMENTS OF BEING A MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS TO GET THIS DONE. I REALLY DO TREASURE THAT. IT’S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE CAN BUILD UPON TO MAKE SURE WE CAN CONTINUE THIS WORK TO GET THINGS DONE. >> THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN. NEXT ON THE LINE, WE HAVE P AYUL. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION. >> YEAH, QUICK QUESTION ON THE TIMELINE FOR DISBURSEMENT. DO YOU KNOW FOR YOUR DISTRICT WHEN PEOPLE SHOULD RECEIVE THEM? >> WELL, THANKS FOR THEQUESTION. QUESTION. SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY ALREADY STARTING TO RECEIVE THEIR CHECKS. THEY STARTED TO GO OUT THIS WEEK. THE IRS DISTRIBUTED PAYMENT TO THOSE WHO APPLIED BY DIRECTDEPOSIT. DEPOSIT. IT’S GOING TO GO ON FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. DIRECT DEPOSIT IN THE PAST, THEY NEED A CHECK CUT, THOSE CHECKS ARE GOING TO BE CUT TOWARDS THE END OF MAY. OR I SHOULD SAY GOING IN TO MAY. IN GENERAL, THEY’RE TRYING TO DO THE EASIEST ONES THAT THEY CAN GET DONE AND DIRECT DEPOSIT BEING THAT THEY HAVE PEOPLE’S BANK INFORMATION IS WHERE THEY’RE STARTING. SO, I CAN’T GIVE YOU A TIMELINE BUT I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROCESS. THAT THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO GET EVERYBODY A CHECK AROUND THE SAME TIME PERIOD. SO, IF YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN YOURS IT’S COMING. THERE’S A PORTAL THAT THE IRS LAUNCHED TODAY THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO CHECK AND SEE IF YOUR CHECK HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU YET. AND IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO UPDATE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL IF THAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO TO THATPORTAL. PORTAL. IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS NEVER REALLY -- DOESN’T PAY YOU’RE A SENIOR CITIZEN OR YOU’RE RECEIVING A VETERANS’ DISABILITY, YOU CAN GO ON TO THE PORTAL, LOG ON THERE, ENTER YOUR INFORMATION. SO WE CAN HAVE THAT, SO YOU CAN GET A DIRECT DEPOSIT PAYMENT. I ASK RIGHT NOW THAT YOU CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED THIS MONEY.THEY WANT IT. THEY WANT IT. BUT CHECKS ARE GOING OUT NOW. ( IT’S GOING TO BE THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THAT PEOPLE RECEIVE THEIR PAYMENT AND CHECK. AND CARLOS IS LISTENING ON-LINE. HE’S TYPED IN THIS QUESTION. IT PERTAINS A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE QUESTION IS HOW CAN YOU GET LANDLORDS TO ACCEPT UNPAID RENT BALANCES FROM APRIL LONGER THAN TWO MONTHS, LATER THAN JUNE AND NOT WHAT THESE LANDLORDS WANT? DISTRICT IS DOING DIFFERENT THINGS AS FAR AS THE COLLECTION OF PAYMENT. SOME COUNTIES ARE WORKING ON PROGRAMS WITH THE CARES ACT FUNDING. ORANGE COUNTY IS DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SAN BERNARDINO IS DOING ANOTHER THING. I’M NOT SURE WHERE YOU LIVE, CARLOS, BUT IF YOU CALL OUR OFFICE, WE’LL PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION FOR THE COUNTY THAT YOU LIVE IN. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE GETTING THE CORRECT INFORMATION FOR THE COUNTY THAT YOU LIVE IN AND THE SOME CITIES HAVE DONE MORE THAN OTHERS. BUT WE’RE HERE TO WORK WITH YOU. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, GIVE US -- GIVE US A CALL AT OUR OFFICE AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND GIVE US YOUR INFORMATION AND WE CAN KIND OF HELP YOU OUT WITH ANY PROGRAMS WE’RE HEARING ABOUT DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU. I PASS THAT ON TO ANYBODY WHO ISSUES. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOVING ON TO A CALLER. JASON ON THE LINE? JASON, WHAT’S YOUR QUESTION? >> FIRST OF ALL APPRECIATE YOU DOING THIS, THANK YOU FOR TAKING OUR QUESTIONS AND CALLS. THE QUESTION TO YOU IS OBVIOUSLY THE THING WITH ALL OF THE HOMELESS OUT HERE THAT THIS COULD SPREAD THROUGH THE SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT, IF ANYTHING, CAN YOU DO TO RESOLVE A CONTINUED HOME LESS LESS ENCAMPMENT IN MY AREA NO MORE THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM WHERE YOU HAD THE OLD HEADQUARTERS IN FULLERTON, THE CITY TELLS YOU TO WORK WITH CALTRANS, CALTRANS TELLS YOU TO MEANWHILE, THE HOMELESS GET MORE AND MORE OUT OF CONTROL LEAVING A DISASTER AND A MESS. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, THAT’S AN CORONAVIRUS THAT’S SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AND THE CITIES. I WILL SAY NORTHERN ORANGE FORCE THAT HAS DONE A LOT OFGREAT WORK. GREAT WORK. THE CITY IS OPENING UP A NAVIGATION CENTER THAT WILL BE ABLE TO HOUSE SOME HOMELESS THEM WITH WRAP-AROUND SERVICES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S GOING ON BEFORE THE CORONAVIRUS CAME INTO OUR LIVES. SO THEY’VE BEEN DOING GREAT WORK AS FAR AS HELPING THESE COMMUNITIES. WILL WORK AND YOU CAN POINT IT OUT TO US. BUT I WILL SAY A LOT OF THE COUNTIES, LOS ANGELES IN PARTICULAR, AND WE DO HAVE PARTS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY IN OUR DISTRICT, BUT THEY HAVE WORKING TO GET PEOPLE INTO HOTELS TO GET THEM OUT OF THERE SO THEY’RE NOT -- THEY’RE TO KEEP THESE HOMELESS FROM SPREADING THE VIRUS TO KEEP THEM SAFE AND GIVE THEM SHELTER DURING THIS THING SO THEY WON’T BECOME INCUBATORS AND PASS IT ON TO OTHERINDIVIDUALS. INDIVIDUALS. EVERY COUNTY IS DIFFERENT. BUT WE’RE WILLING TO -- WE’RE WORKING WITH ALL OF THE COUNTIES, TRYING TO SUPPORT THEM AS WE CAN. WE PROVIDED FUNDED, IT’S ALREADY BEEN GIVEN OUT TO THE STATES AS PART OF THE CARES ACT IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THE HOMELESS. SITUATION HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE COUNTIES RECEIVED MONEY AS WELL AS THE STATE. AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE HOMELESS SITUATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT THESE PEOPLE IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE SAFE, WHERE THEY’RE NOT GOING AND ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES ARE SAFE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS A COMMENT AND A QUESTION FROM ALBERT. IT GOES LIKE THIS -- ALBERT WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AID FOR THE IN-HOME HEALTH WORKERS. ONE OF HIS PARENTS GOES TO DIALYSIS, HIS WIFE TAKES CARE OF HIM. BUT THEY DON’T HAVE ANY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. CAN YOUR OFFICE HELP WITH THAT? SITUATION NOT ONLY HERE IN OUR DISTRICT, BUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THERE’S A SHORTAGE SOME OF YOU SUPPLY OFFICER IN THE NAVY, GETTING MATERIALS, MAKING SURE WE HAD ENOUGH IS PART OF MY JOB I DID, MAKING SURE WE HAD A GOOD INVENTORY. I HAD TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT. I SPOKE WITH THE ADMIRAL WHO’S IN CHARGE OF RECK RESCISSIONING ALL -- OBTAINING THESE PRODUCTS, WORKING WITH FEMA. I OPERATED WITH FEMA AND OTHER OTHER IN THE CITY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE PPE GEAR. AND WE HAVE SOME COMPANIES WHO HAVE GONE IN THE DISTRICT TO CHANGE UP THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT. ONE COMPANY IN PARTICULAR HAS GONE FROM CREATING ATHLETIC APPAREL TO STARTING TO CREATE PPE EQUIPMENT TO MAKING THAT HOSPITAL GOWNS AND EVERYTHING -- THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT THOSE HEALTH CARE WORKERS NEED WHEN THEY’RE IN THE HOSPITALS. SO WE ARE WORKING ON THE PPE ISSUE. THAT’S A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION EVERY TIME IT COMES UP WHEN WE’RE ON A CALL REGARDING WHAT’S GOING ON. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE. AN ISSUE TODAY WHEN I WAS ON A CALL MAKING SURE HOW DO WE GET THE PROPER EQUIPMENT TO OUR SAILORS ON SHIPS SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY’RE STAYING SAFE WHILE THEY’RE DEPLOYED? THIS IS AN ISSUE WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK. I WILL SAY THAT CONGRESS PROVIDED THE FUNDING SO THE GOVERNMENT CAN GO OUT THERE AND PURCHASE THIS EQUIPMENT. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO HELP THEM FIND OUT AS TO WHY THEY’RE NOT PURCHASING THE EQUIPMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO, THE PRESIDENT DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT TO MAKE SURE GO OUT THERE AND MAKE COMPANIES CHANGE UP THEIR WORKFORCE SO THEY CAN START MAKING SOME OF THIS PPE EQUIPMENT. MAKING SOME OF THE VENTILATORS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE, IT NEEDS TO GET DONE NOW. SO THIS IS SOMETHING, THE PRESSURE WE CONTINUE TO PUT ON THE ADMINISTRATION TO DO THIS. WE’LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> AS A QUICK REMINDER, YOU CAN JOIN CONGRESSMAN CISNEROS’ E-NEWSLETTER BY PRESSING STAR 6 ON THE TELEPHONE KEY PAD RIGHTNOW. NOW.

CHANGED OUR CLOTHING MANUFACTURING LINE TO START MAKING FACEMASKS, THE CLOTH ONES. MY QUESTION TO YOU WAS, SO, FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE HAS REMOVED ADVERTISEMENT FOR FACE COVERING. I’M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT OTHER OPTIONS WE HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THERE ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE. I KNOW L.A. HAS A BUNCH OF OPTIONS AND PEOPLE CAN GET THEM ON THE STREETS. BUT IN ORANGE COUNTY, I’VE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE IN ORANGE COUNTY AND SAN DIEGO, THEY ALL ARE SO GRATEFUL WE’RE MAKING THE MASKS BUT THEY’RE TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO LET US KNOW THAT WE CAN GET THE WORD OUT THERE ABOUT OUR MASKS? >> THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GOOGLE HAS DONE. THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT FALSE OUT THERE. THEY STARTED TO LOOSEN THOSE RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS EXACT REASON. WE’VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SITUATION THAT YOU DESCRIBED SHOULD BE OKAY. TO YOU ON HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR AD IS NOT FLAGGED AS BEING ONE OF THOSE THAT THEY WANT TO BAN. AS FOR FACEBOOK. THIS IS THE FIRST WE’VE HEARD OF THAT. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY GET FACEBOOK ON THE LINE AND TRY TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP OUT WITH THAT. STAY IN CONTACT WITH OUR OFFICE TO SEE HOW WE CAN DO THIS. AND THERE’S OTHER MEANS THAT I KNOW WE CAN KIND OF PASS OUT OUR WORK WITH LOCALLY TO MAKE SURE AVAILABLE AND OUT THERE. WE CAN WORK WITH THE LOCAL CHAMBERS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE. A LOT OF OUR CHAMBERS, A LITTLE DIFFERENT TOPIC, BUT OUR CHAMBERS ARE WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WHAT RESTAURANTS ARE STILL OPEN AND TO FREQUENT THE RESTAURANTS. I’M SURE WE CAN WORK, CONNECT YOU WITH THE CHAMBERS AND WORK WITH THEM AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MASKS AVAILABLE AND TOCHECK ON THEM. CHECK ON THEM. WE’LL CHECK IN WITH FACEBOOK. WE’LL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT GOOGLE IS MAKING SO YOU CAN ADVERTISE. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AND THANK YOU FOR CHANGING UP YOUR BUSINESS TO MAKE THE MASKS AVAILABLE SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THEM. >> NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM BILL.

WITHIN THE DISTRICT, ARE THERE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF SUPPLY OR TESTS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE TESTED FOR COVID-19. BECAUSE IF WE DON’T GET PEOPLE TESTED LIKE THE SOUTH KOREANS HAVE DONE, WE HAVE TO GET ACCESS TO THOSE TOOLS. WHAT’S BEING DONE IN THE DISTRICT TO GET MORE? ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO VOLUNTEER AND GET TESTED? THANK YOU SO MUCH >> I’M NOT GOING TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH HERE. THE ABC IS NO. -- THE ANSWER IS NO. WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH IN THEDISTRICT. DISTRICT. WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH IN THE COUNTRY. WE NEED TO GET MORE TESTS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET A TEST. TO BOTH KNOW IF THEY HAVE IT AND FIND OUT IF THEY’VE BEEN CURED FROM IT. OTHER TESTS THAT ARE BEING DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW TO GET ACCESS TO IT TO MAKE SURE THAT INDIVIDUALS WHERE THEY CAN TEST THE ANTIBODIES TO SEE IF INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS, BECAUSE THERE’S SOME THOUGHT THAT ONCE YOU’VE BEEN EXPOSED, YOU’RE IMMUNE TO IT FOR A WHILE. THAT’S ANOTHER TEST THAT WE NEED TO DO. RIGHT NOW, THEY’VE BEEN DISTRIBUTING THESE NEW TEST MACHINES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY NUMBER OF TESTS AND GET THROUGH NUMBER OF TESTS. THEM QUICKLY AND GET A LARGENUMBER OF TESTS. BUT NOW THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WE DON’T HAVE THE CARTRIDGES. IN ORDER TO CONDUCT THOSE TESTS SO WE CAN USE THESE MACHINES. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ANOTHER WORKING AND PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE ADMINISTRATION THAT YOU NEED TO DO MORE TESTS. WE NEED TO DO MORE TESTS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET TO A SITUATION WHETHER IT BE IN SOUTH KOREA AND WHETHER IT BE IN TAIWAN, THAT WE CAN GO AND ABLE TO TEST. REALLY TEST LIKE THEY’VE BEENABLE TO TEST. THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE SITUATION THERE. BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL IT A LOT BETTER. MY SISTER IS ACTUALLY LIVING IN SOUTH KOREA RIGHT NOW. AND MY PARENTS WERE ASKING HER LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE GOING TO HOME? AND THEY PRETTY MUCH TOLD HER, SHE TOLD THEM, YOU KNOW, I THINK I’M GOING TO STAY HERE. THINGS ARE GOING GOOD. THEY’RE RUNNING A GOOD PROGRAM RIGHT HERE. EVERYBODY KNOWS AND WE NEED TO GET TO A SITUATION LIKE THAT. WE NEED TO GET TO THE SITUATION LIKE TAIWAN. WHICH HAS BEEN DOING REALLY GREAT WORK AS FAR AS KEEPING THE EXPOSED TO IT TO A MINIMUM. IT’S SOMETHING WE NEED TO GET DONE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON THE ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET MORE TESTS AVAILABLE, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESEARCH GETS DONE. WE’VE PROVIDED A LOT OF THAT WE COULD DO RESOURCE. RESEARCH -- A LOT OF FUNDING SO WE COULD DO RESEARCH AND RESEARCH IS BEING DONE NOT ONLY IT’S BEING DONE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THEY’RE WORKING ON BOTH A VACCINE AS WELL AS WORKING ON TREATMENTS FOR THE VIRUS. SO, WE’LL CONTINUE TO PUT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THROUGH THIS. BUT TESTING IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE KEYS THAT WE’RE GOING TO NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE SO WE NEXT STEPS AND GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WE’RE IN RIGHT NOW. >> NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM TAYLOR, GO AHEAD, YOU’RE LIVE WITH THE CONGRESSMAN? >> HELLO. I HAVE A QUESTION. I’M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER OF A SINGLE MEMBER LLC TAYLOR’S GUITAR LESSONS, PROVIDING GUITAR GOING TO E-MAIL ME ANY SORT OF CONFIRMATION, AND JUST TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR CONFIRMATION. AND I DID CLICK THE BOX TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE $10,000 LOAN, THE DISASTER LOAN. I DID -- I DID MY BEST TO FILLIT OUT. IT OUT. CORRECTLY. BUT I WAS WONDERING, I -- I WAS WONDERING, WHEN -- WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO HEAR BACK SINCE THEY DIDN’T OFFER ANY ANY CONFIRMATION? >> YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. I’M SORRY YOU’RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT. SITUATION FOR A LOT OF OUR SMALL BUSINESS INDIVIDUALS. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, LIKE I STATED EARLIER, SBA IS REALLY OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU APPLIED FOR THE EDIL LOAN. YOU SAID YOU CHECKED THE BOX FOR THE $10,000 ADVANCE. >> YES, SIR. >> SO, THEY’RE WORKING ON THOSE RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE REALLY OVERWHELMED. BUT THEY’RE STARTING TO PROCESS THOSE LOANS AND TO GET THEM OUT. I WAS UP TALKING TO AN TODAY ABOUT THE PROCESS AND WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON. HOW IT’S BEEN GOING. HE SAID, YOU KNOW, IT’S -- IT IS STRESSFUL RIGHT NOW AT THE SBA. THEY’RE WORKING AS FAST AS THEY CAN. BUT THEY ARE SEEING THE LOANS GETTING OUT. HE TALKED TO ONE OF THE CLIENTS AND JUST LIKE YOUR SITUATION, THE INDIVIDUAL DIDN’T KNOW WHEN IT JUST SHOWED UP IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT. IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT LIKE YESTERDAY. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’RE GOING TO GET A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL, THAT’S SOMETHING WE CAN FOLLOW UP AGAIN AND WITH THE SBA. BUT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME EARLIER TODAY, IT MAY SHOW UP IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. YOU GOT IT, YOU’RE APPROVED. THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW YOU’RE APPROVED. WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE AS THEY CHANGE. WE’LL PUT THAT UP ON OUR WEBSITE SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON AND THEY HAVE UPDATED INFORMATION THAT’S MOVED THROUGH THE DAYS AS WE DEAL WITH THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS WE’RE IN RIGHT NOW. >> ALL RIGHT, IT’S TIME TO GO BACK TO A WEB QUESTION. THIS ONE IS FROM BRIAN. WHEN IT COMES TO THE CARES ACT, WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE TO HELP COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO DON’T QUALIFY FOR THE STIMULUS CHECKS? THIS IS ONE OF THE BIG INJUSTICES THAT I THINK HAS TAKEN PLACE DURING THIS. THERE’S A LOT OF STUDENTS OUT THERE, A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, A LOT OF COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO ARE OUT THERE WORKING WHO ARE PAYING TAXES, AND THEY WERE UNDER THE AGE OF 17, NOT ONLY DOES THE FAMILY RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THEM. BUT THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A CHECK AS WELL. IT’S REALLY UNFORTUNATE. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE COLLEGE STUDENTS, EVEN THOUGH THE PARENTS MAYBE STILL CLAIM THEM AS A DEPENDENT, THEY’RE STILL PRETTY MUCH TAKING CARE OF THEIR THE WORK STUDY PROGRAM. ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS A WORK STUDY JOB IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE PAID THROUGHOUT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE FIGHTING FOR FOR PROTECTIONS, FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND, SO, AGAIN, THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT DIDN’T HAVE A FEDERAL WORK STUDY JOB WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THEIR PAY IN TO THE FUTURE. BUT ONE OH THE THINGS THAT WE’RE THOSE COLLEGE STUDENTS, THAT THEY NEED TO RECEIVE A CHECK AS WELL.YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW? THEY’RE DEPENDING ON THAT MONEY. SOME OF THEM DON’T HAVE ANY THEY DON’T HAVE THAT JOB ANYMORE. SO, THEY NEED THAT RELIEF AS WELL. AND THEY WORK JUST AS HARD AND PROVIDE IT TO THEM. >> MOVING ON, SANDEEP ON THE LINE. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION FOR THE CONGRESSMAN, PLEASE? >> GOOD EVENING. I’M A SMALL BUSINESS HERE LOCALLY AND ALSO CONSIDERED AN ESSENTIAL BUSINESS. I’VE GONE THROUGH -- I’LL THAT HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE EDIL LOAN AND THE PPE LOAN. MY QUESTION OR MY CONCERN IS, WE’VE DONE THE PROCESS. I KNOW THEY’RE BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS BEING CONSIDERED AND DONE AND SO FORTH. SO THERE’S A PROCESS IN PLACE. TONIGHT AND LISTENING TO MEDIA AND SO FORTH IS THAT THE MONEY IS GOING TO RUN OUT. AND THERE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS AS TO ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT THIS FINANCIAL HELP TO SMALL BUSINESS. JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND. AND IF YOU REALIZE THAT A LOT OF US ARE REALLY, REALLY STRUGGLING AT THIS POINT TRYING TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND BEING THOSE ESSENTIAL WORKERS, AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE SAFE AND WE ARE SAFE AND COMING BACK TO OUR HOMES, BEING SAFE YOU KNOW, TO COME BACK HOME. WHERE YOU’RE WORKING TOGETHER BEING BIPARTISAN AND VOTE FOR INCREASED FUNDING FOR SMALL BUSINESS. THANK YOU. QUESTION. >> THE -- THANK YOU FOR THATQUESTION. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE SITUATION THAT YOU’RE IN. THE PAST. STRUGGLE TO KEEP YOUR DOORS OPEN AND TO WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN MEET YOUR PAYROLL. I KNOW THIS IS A SITUATION THAT WAS THROWN UPON US. BACKBONE OF OUR COUNTRY. THEY EMPLOY MOST HALF OF THE WORKERS HERE IN THE COUNTRY. IT’S VITAL FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SUCCEED AND THEY HELP THEM AND SUPPORT THEM THROUGH THIS CRISIS. THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG REASONS THAT WE PASSED THE CARES ACT TO PROVIDE OVER $375 BILLION IN RELIEF TO SMALL BUSINESSES. AND WE KNOW THAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO MORE. BUT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO MORE TO FUND OUR HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE CENTERS AND THIS IS ALL THINGS THAT WE’RE WORKING ON TODAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE WORKING IN THE NEXT PACKAGE TO CONTINUE TO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED IT. YOU KNOW, AS I SAID EARLIER, ONE OF THE MOST PROUD MOMENTS THAT I HAD IN CONGRESS WAS COMING TOGETHER, WORKING ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS TO GET THE CARES ACT PASSED THROUGH CONGRESS. HOUSE. I’M CONFIDENT WE’LL COME TOGETHER BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE’LL COME TOGETHER AGAIN TO MAKE SURE WE DON’T LEAVE THE AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNERS, THE AMERICAN WORKERS STANDING OUT THERE. WE’RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU. WE KNOW THE SITUATION THAT YOU’RE IN. WE’LL CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE WORK THAT YOU NEED SO THROUGH THIS CRISIS THAT WAS CREATED BY THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS. SO I HAVE FAITH THAT WE CAN COME TOGETHER AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S TOO IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTRY TO NOT DO THAT. >> THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN. NEXT ON THE LINE, A QUESTION FROM MIKA. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION. LIVE ON THE CALL. >> HI, THIS IS M IKA. I’M CURRENTLY A HIGH SCHOOLTEACHER. I TEACH ACTUALLY IN THE L.A. COUNTY AT A CHARTER -- A CHARTER COUNTYWIDE SCHOOL. IN THE CHARTER, WE’RE TRYING TO NAVIGATE THIS WORLD FOR OUR STUDENTS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR UH YOU KNOW, FOR SCHOOL NOT TO BE IN SESSION. BUT ALSO WE HAVE GRADUATING SENIORS WHO AREN’T REALLY SURE IF THEY’RE GOING TO WALK AND IF THAT’S GOING TO BE POSSIBLE. I KNOW THIS IS HITTING HIGHER EDUCATION IN A DIFFERENT WAY. DISTRICT, EVEN CONGRESS IN GENERAL, HOW THEY’RE GOING TO ALSO ADDRESS SOME OF THE EDUCATION REFORM OR THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO ARISE EVEN WHEN WE DO RETURN BACK TO THE OUT AND WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO COMMUNICATING TO STUDENTS AND THEIR STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS EDUCATORS MOVING FORWARD? >> FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING A TEACHER, BEING AN EDUCATOR AND BEING OUT THERE FOR OUR STUDENTS, IT’S AN IMPORTANT JOB. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE NEW SITUATION, THE NEW EDUCATION SYSTEM WE’RE LIVING IN. I HAVE TWO YOUNG BOYS, I HAVE 6-YEAR-OLD TWINS. WE’RE HOME SCHOOLING THEM RIGHT NOW. ANYTHING IN MY WIFE’S JOB DESCRIPTION. ON A DAILY BASIS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY NEED TO GET DONE SO THEY DON’T FALL BEHIND. THAT’S THE CONCERN OF A LOT OF PARENTS WHO ARE OUT THERE, A LOT OF PARENTS THAT ARE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW ARE -- ARE -- IT WAS -- YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN’T TRAINED TO BE TEACHERS. SO THEY’RE DOING THE BEST THEYCAN. CAN. I KNOW THE SCHOOLS SAID THEY’RE WORKING WITH THEM THE BEST THEY RESOURCES THAT THE PARENTS HAVE THE RESOURCES SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO TEACH AND EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN. WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THE SUPERINTENDENTS IN THE ISSUES AND WHAT THEY’RE DEALING WITH. YOU KNOW? AND UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THEM THEM. STUDENTS DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND WHICH IS SO CRUCIAL WHEN YOU’RE DOING THIS DISTANCE LEARNING, WHEN YOU’RE DOING THIS HOME SCHOOLING, YOU KNOW, FOR THE STUDENT. SO A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE GONE OUT AND PROVIDED HOT SPOTS AND THEY’VE PROVIDED FUNDING SO THE BROADBAND FOR THEIRSTUDENTS. STUDENTS. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS AND ASSIST THEM ALONG THIS PROCESS. AND I KNOW WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE RESOURCES. I KNOW THAT’S SOMETHING THAT THE LABOR COMMITTEE, BOBBY SCOTT HASBEEN WORKING. BEEN WORKING. AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN LETTING HIM KNOW ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS AREN’T GOING TO FALL ABLE TO MOVE ON. I KNOW EVERYBODY IS KIND OF PITCHING IN RIGHT NOW. PARENTS, TEACHERS, OUR FACULTY, OUR ADMINISTRATORS, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE WORKING ON EDUCATION TO REALLY BE OUT THERE AND TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS THE BEST THEY CAN. AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THEY DO THAT. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT EDUCATION WAS TO OUR LIFE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. MAKE SURE WE ADVOCATE FOR THESE RESOURCES SO THAT STUDENTS CONTINUE TO LEARN. >> THE NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM THE WEB. ELIZABETH WONDERS, WHEN WILL OUR GROCERY STORES GET PROPERLY STOCKED AND ALL OF THE WORKERS GET PPE? >> THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION, ELIZABETH. I DO APPRECIATE THAT. NO, OUR GROCERY STORE WORKERS ARE REALLY OUT THERE ON THE FRONT LINES. YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF THE STORES ARE OPEN AND WORKING IN THERE, MAKING SURE THAT THEIR -- SO THAT EVERYBODY HAVE ACCESS TO SUPPLIES, HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD. GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND HELPING THE REST OF US WHO ARE OUT THERE. SO, WE PROVIDED THE FUNDING SO TO THE COUNTRY. WE ASK PEOPLE TO GO OUT AND MAKE MORE OF THE CLOTH MASKS WE’RE ASKING THE INDIVIDUALS TO WEAR. TAIWAN DONATED PPE. OVER 2 MILLION FACEMASKS HAVE COME TO THE COUNTRY. COMING IN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS WELL. BUT WE’RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH COMPANIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING THE PPE IN AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY PROVIDE THIS THE EQUIPMENT AND PROVIDE IT TO THEIR EMPLOYEES SO THEY CAN STAY SAFE AND EVERYBODY STAYS SAFE. AS FAR AS THE RESTOCKING, WE’VE BEEN KIND OF HEARING FROM SENIOR CITIZENS A LOT ABOUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT -- I’M AFRAID TO GO OUT OR WHEN I GO TO THE STORE, THEY DON’T HAVE THE MATERIALS, THE TOILET PAPER, THE PAPER TOWELS THAT I NEED. THEY’RE ASSURING US THEY HAVE THIS MATERIAL THAT THEY HAVE IT. DONE IT TOO. I’VE GONE TO THE STORE AND CHECKED THE AISLE AND IT WAS EMPTY. EMPTY. YOU CAN GO OUT THERE AND GET YOUR SHOPPING DONE. THEY’VE DONE THAT FOR NOT ONLY THE SENIOR CITIZENS AND OTHER THERE, GET OUT THERE AND GET EARLY ACCESS TO THIS STUFF. BUT I WOULD ASK EVERYONE AS WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT NOW. YOU DON’T HAVE TO HOARD THE SUPPLY. AS I SAID MANY TIMES, WE’RE ONLY GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER IF WE WORK TOGETHER. SO PART OF THAT IS NOT ONLY MAINTAINING THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND DOING EVERYTHING THAN WHAT WE NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO THE STORES, WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO THE GROCERY STORES. THEY’VE ASSURED US THEY HAVE THE SUPPLIES. THEY CAN’T KEEP THEM ON THE SHELVES QUICK ENOUGH. THEY’RE BEING TAKEN OFF OF THE SHELVES QUICKER THAN THEY CAN STOCK THEM. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR STORES IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE, BUT IF YOU’RE HAVING ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE AND WE’LL TRY TO HELP OUT AS BEST WE CAN. I WILL SAY THIS TOO, ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THERE ARE SOME COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE HELPING OUR SENIOR CITIZENS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS, IF THEY NEED SUPPLIES OR THEY’RE AFRAID TO GO OUT TO THE STORE OR WORRIED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH, THEY CAN CALL THE ORGANIZATIONS, CALL OUR OFFICE. WE CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DELIVER SUPPLIES AND FOOD TO YOU. >> GO AHEAD, NEXT QUESTION. >> CONGRESSMAN, TYSON ON THE LINE NEXT. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION, TYSON. >> THANKS, CONGRESSMAN. I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HOWARD. OU? I NEVER KNEW HOW TO PRONOUNCE HIS NAME. HE’S BEEN GREAT HELPING WITH A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR MYSELF AND MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHO’S A WE WERE ABLE TO GET RIGHT AWAY TO THE EIDL AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO HE WAS A GREAT RESOURCE FROM THE BEGINNING. MY QUESTION IS IN REGARDS TO -- WE’RE SEEING THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF PHASE 3, YOU KNOLL, RELIEF BILL. STARTING THIS WEEK AND HOPEFULLY TO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WHAT ARE HAVING WITH YOUR FELLOWLE CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN ABOUT POSSIBLE PHASE FOUR, WHETHER IT WOULD NEED TO BE AS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED AS IT WAS IN PHASE THREE? WOULD IT BE MORE TARGETED? I’M NOT GOING TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK. WAS THANKFUL FOR HAVING IT. BUT WE THOUGHT, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE TARGETED DISTRIBUTION OF THESE FUNDS AND IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING IN A PHASE FOUR SORT OF PACKAGE? >> THANKS FOR THAT QUESTION. WE’VE HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING FORWARD. WE KNOW WE NEED TO PROVIDE A LOT MORE RELIEF WITH THE SMALL BUSINESSES WITH THE PPE PROGRAM. DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THE PAN PANDEMIC IS GOING TO LAST. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I’VE ADVOCATED FOR IS REALLY HELPING OUR MORE FUNDING TO OUR CITIES, OUR SMALL CITIES. A LOT OF THE FUNDING WENT TO 5,000 PEOPLE. CITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY OR ANY OF THE CITIES IN THE DISTRICT. SO, I’VE BEEN ADVOCATING, WE NEED TO GET MORE DIRECT FUNDING TO OUR CITIES. IT SHOULDN’T BE A POPULATION NUMBER BASED ON THAT. THAT’S SOMETHING I WILL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR. MORE FUNDING TO OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS, TO OUR HOSPITALS, MORE TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE CENTERS, MORE TO FUND THE PPP PROGRAM. LATER ON, THERE’S TALK ABOUT THIS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. YOU KNOW? INFRASTRUCTURE BILL DONE TO KIND OF HELP US MOVE OUT OF THIS CRISIS, YOU KNOW, AFTER WE GET THROUGH THIS. THAT’S ANOTHER THING THAT’S BEING DISCUSSED AS WELL. GOING TO BE TARGETED ISSUES, BUT PROGRAMS PUT IN PLACE, REALLY KIND OF FINE TUNE THE PROGRAMS, GOING BACK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, RIGHT? WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT EDUCATION AND REALLY PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE STUDENTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, WORK DONE DURING THE SITUATION. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK, WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TALK. THERE’S WORK DONE RIGHT NOW TO IT’S BEING WORKED ON, DISCUSSED, WE’LL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. >> NEXT UP, WE’VE GOT CHRIS ON THE LINE WITH A QUESTION. GO AHEAD, CHRIS? >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. THERE WAS AN UPTICK IN HATE YOUR PREDECESSOR, ED ROYCE WAS AT A MOSQUE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. NOW, WITH COVID HAPPENING, A LOT OF THE ASIAN AMERICANS ARE BEING TARGETED BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BLAME THE CHINESE, BUT THEY CAN’T REALLY TELL OTHER ASIANS APART. IN FACT, A WEEK AFTER THE FIRST COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION ON MY WAY TO L.A., I WAS VERBALLY ASSAULTED IN A WAY THAT MADE ME FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE WEARING A MASK HERE IN L.A. COUNTY. MY QUESTION IS WHAT OH WILL YOU DO TO PROTECT THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, CHINESE, VIETNAMESE, KOREAN, JAPANESE, OR ANY OTHER ASIAN-LOOKING -- ANY OF THE ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY MEMBERS THE DISTRICT? WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AFTER THE CORONAVIRUS, THE SITUATION WE’RE IN RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AN UPSWING IN A LOT OF DISCRIMINATION AND RACIST REMARKS TARGETED TOWARDS OUR ASIAN AMERICAN, PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITIES. I’M PART OF THE CAUCUS, KPAC THERE IN THE HOUSE OFREPRESENTATIVES. REPRESENTATIVES. THAT. I’M PROUD TO REPRESENT A DIVERSE DISTRICT THAT INCLUDES A LARGE ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC COMMUNITY WITHIN THE 39. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE, RIGHT, IS I’VE DONE IT BEFORE AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT DURING AND AFTER. IT’S TO SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE A VOICE. SO I WORKED WITH MY COLLEAGUE FROM NEW YORK TO INTRODUCE A RESOLUTION, TALKING ABOUT DISCRIMINATION THAT’S BEEN TARGETED TOWARD THE ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY. I SENT ANOTHER LETTER WITH MY COLLEAGUES, ASKING THE PRESIDENT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS DISCRIMINATION THAT’S BEEN TARGETED TOWARDS THE ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY. AND ASKING HIM TO STAND WITH US IN SUPPORT OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY. IT’S UNFORTUNATE THERE ARE A LOT OF IGNORANT PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE REALLY KIND OF DECIDED TO MAKE COMMENTS OR TO TARGET THIS. AND IT REALLY KIND OF AS IF IT CORONAVIRUS HERE IN THE -- IN THE UNITED STATES. IT DOESN’T MATTER, IF YOU’RE MUSLIM, ASIAN, AFRICAN-AMERICAN, PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST YOU AND THEY’RE BEING IGNORANT OR RACIST OR DISCRIMINATING AGAINST YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR RELIGION, ETHNIC BACKGROUND, OR RACE, I’LL BE YOUR VOICE TO I’VE BUN THAT BEFORE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AND SO I’M PROUD TO DO THAT AND STAND UP FOR OUR ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY HERE IN THE 39th AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. >> WE’RE GOING TO HEAR FROM JEAN NEXT, GO AHEAD WITH YOUR >> HI, GOOD EVENING. FOR MAKING THIS STATE ONE OF THE WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THIS MORNING TO RECEIVE THE PAYMENT. AND IT’S BEEN A GOD SEND. SO, AGAIN, THANK YOU. MY FIRST QUESTION HAS ANSWERED SO I’LL GO ON THE MY SECOND. WITH REGARDS TO HAZARD PAY, THE INFORMATION THAT I’M -- WHEN I HEAR ABOUT THE HAZARD PAY, THE JUST COMPANIES GOING ON STRIKE IN ORDER TO TRY AND GET IT. DASH. THAT INCOME HAS BEEN A GOD SEND. THEY’RE ONE OF THE FEW INDUSTRIES THAT HAS BECOME IN DEMAND. MY QUESTION IS I DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY KIND OF STRIKES. IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE TO FORCE THE FOOD DELIVERY COMPANIES INTO PROVIDING HAZARD PAY >> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. I SUPPORT HAZARD PAY. I SENT A LETTER TO THE LEADERSHIP IN CONGRESS SAYING THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE HAZARD PAY TO THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE OUT THERE WORKING ON THE FRONT LINES AND PROVIDING THESE SERVICES. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHETHER THEY’RE DOING THE JOB YOU DO FOR DOOR DASH OR GRUB HUB OR HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO ARE OUT THERE. I’LL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THIS, MY COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THIS. SO WE’RE HOPEFULLY GOING TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO DO THIS, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR HEALTH ON THE LINE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE SERVICES THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING. SO I’M HAPPY TO BE YOUR ADVOCATE ON THIS ISSUE. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM RICK. RICK, GO AHEAD AND ASK YOUR >> YES, THE DPA, THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT RANKING, IS IT DXOR DO. OR DO. AND IS THAT RATING BEING USED TO GET US TEST KITS. IT’S UNNERVING AND THE LACK OF TESTING. >> I AND MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE, HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO PUT THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT IN USE TO ITS FULLEST CAPACITY, NOT ONLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE DOING PPE, BUT ALSO TO START MANUFACTURING THE TEST KITS THAT THE MANUFACTURING VENTILATORS, THAT WE TAKE CARE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE SICK SO WE CAN GET THEM BACK TO HEALTH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE BEING ON THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE IS PUSHING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO OPEN UP THEIR STOCK OF SUPPLIES TO GET THOSE OUT THERE, SO THEY’VE MADE A LOT OF VENTILATORS AVAILABLE OUT THERE TO HOSPITALS THAT NEEDED THEM. AND YOU’RE ALSO SEEING WHICH IS OTHER STATES SHARING THE NUMBER OF VENTILATORS AND OTHER SUPPLIES THAT -- THAT THEY DON’T NEED RIGHT NOW, LIKE CALIFORNIA GAVE SOME UP TO NEW YORK. LOANED THEM TO NEW YORK SO THEYCOULD USE THEM. COULD USE THEM. THEY’RE IN A LOT WORSE SITUATION THAN WE ARE RIGHT NOW. BUT, YOU KNOW THIS, IS SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO PUSH THE PRESIDENT ON TO MAKE SURE THAT HE PUTS THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT, YOU KNOW, INTO USE AT ITS FULL CAPACITY SO WE CAN GET THE THOSE INDIVIDUALS. LINES WHO NEED THEM SO THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB. NOT ONLY DO THEIR JOB, BUT DO IT SAFELY. >> I’M BEING TOLD THERE’S TIME LOOKS LIKE CURTIS HAS THAT QUESTION FOR YOU. GO AHEAD, CURTIS, YOU’RE LIVE ON THE CALL. >> ALL RIGHT, WELL, A LOT OF PRESSURE BEING THE LAST ONE. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK YOU DO. AND ALSO YOUR STAFF. THEY REALLY DO A PHENOMENAL JOB. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU AND THEM FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO. SO, TONIGHT, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. WITH REGARDS TO THE FEDERAL RESPONSE TO THIS PANDEMIC. YOU KNOW, AS WE’RE ALL WELL AWARE, THE ADMINISTRATION LOST ABOUT TWO MONTHS TO GET READY FOR THIS PANDEMIC. THEY RECEIVED BRIEFINGS FROM EXPERTS IN JANUARY, AND, YET, THEY FAILED TO PREPARE ENOUGH VENTILATORS, THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE TESTS OFFERED BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, AND THEY CONTINUE TO DOWNPLAY THE SEVERITY OF THIS VIRUS WELL INTO MARCH, EVEN RECENTLY, WITH THEIR DECISIONS TO CUT FUNDING FOR TESTING AND TO PULL FUNDING FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND THAT AMERICANS WILL DIE FROM THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE. YOU KNOW, LIKE THE BRAVE SAILORS ABOARD THE U.S.S. THEODORE ROOSEVELT WHO HAS TESTED ADMINISTRATION’S INACTION. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ONCE THIS IS ALL RESOLVED TO HOLD THOSE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LIVES THAT THEIR ACTIONS AND INACTIONS HAVE COST? AND WHAT KINDS OF CONSEQUENCES ADMINISTRATION WHO KNOWINGLY SPREAD MISINFORMATION DURING THIS PANDEMIC? KNOW, MY PRIORITY IS TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP US GET OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC AND TO GET EVERYBODY OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS SAFE AS POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN -- WELL, TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, CONGRESS HAS THE ROLE OF OVERSIGHT. YOU KNOW, THE ADMINISTRATION, THERE’S SOMETHING THAT I TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY. AND I KNOW ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES DO AS WELL. THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE WORK ON AND DISCUSS DEEPLY FOR A WHILE HERE GOING INTO THIS, TO KIND OF FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY WAS, YOU KNOW, THE HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY, HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS BETTER PREPAREDINTO THE FUTURE? INTO THE FUTURE? YOU KNOW? WERE A LOT OF THESE -- THESE HHS TO FOLLOW THE PANDEMICS AROUND THE WORLD THAT WERE DEFUNDED, YOU KNOW, THE CONSEQUENCES -- LOOKING INTO THE CONSEQUENCES THAT OF DEFUNDING THOSE THINGS AND HOW THAT RELATED TO EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. WE WILL -- WE WILL PROVIDE OUR OVERSIGHT. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK INTO ALL OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND NIH, CDC, EVERYBODY, HOMELAND SECURITY, TO -- DO SOME DEEP DIVES INTO THIS TO KIND OF FIND OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REALLY PROTECT US INTO THE FUTURE SO IT DOESN’T HAPPENAGAIN. AGAIN. SO, LIKE I SAID, WE TAKE THAT -- I TAKE THAT ROLE VERY SERIOUSLY. I KNOW MY COLLEAGUES DO AS WELL. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE THAT OVERSIGHT AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS TO FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHY DIDN’T -- WHY WAS THE REACTION SO DELAYED AND WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY? AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE BETTER PREPARED INTO THE FUTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON’T FALL INTO A SITUATION LIKE THIS AGAIN? >> CONGRESSMAN CISNEROS, AS WE WRAP THIS CALL UP, CAN WE GET YOU TO SHARE SOME PARTING THOUGHTS, PLEASE?
