The Daily Signal - Hispanic Pastor Calls on Church and Government to Bridge Racial Divide
There is no easy answer to America’s racial and political divide. But one thing is clear, healing in America will require both the church and government leaders taking action to build bridges in our nation.
“Silence is not an option. Complacency makes us complicit,” The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and a member of the National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, said in a statement after the killing of George Floyd. Rodriguez joins the podcast to explain the need for a national commission to address the broken trust between the African American community and law enforcement, and the role of the church during this critical time in history.
Rodriguez also discusses some of the latest work of The Heritage Foundation's National Coronavirus Recovery Commission.
We also cover these stories:
- Attorney General Bill Barr said there are about 500 open investigations looking into crimes committed in the past weeks following riots in the wake of George Floyd's death.
- Texas is pumping the brakes on its reopening plan amid a spike in new coronavirus cases.
- The Supreme Court ruled Thursday 7-2 that people who are seeking asylum in the United States do not have the right to have a hearing in a federal court before being deported.

The Gist - Playing With a Viral Yo-Yo
On the Gist, Biden is in the lead.
In the first part of a two-part interview, Mike talks with police practices and civil rights expert Matthew Barge about how policy has failed to change how law enforcement agencies police communities, how police unions have played a huge role in where we find ourselves now, and what role consent decrees play in changing police behavior. Barge is a lawyer, a principal consultant with 21CP Solutions, and federal court-appointed monitor overseeing federal consent decrees in Cleveland, Ohio and Baltimore, Maryland.
In the spiel, the Covid-19 yo-yo.

Consider This from NPR - Mask Debate Heats Up; Creating A Vaccine For A Mutating Virus

More Governors across the country are touting the benefits of masks but not all are willing to make wearing them a state policy.
NPR's Jon Hamilton reports that scientists are closely tracking mutations in the coronavirus to ensure the changes don't complicate a future vaccine.
