In this episode I talk to the Director COVID 19 Emergency Task Force at DeSales Media Group, Vincent LeVien. Vinnie’s father was in the police force and worked to take down the mafia. He had a reputation of not being able to be bought, unlike some other police officers, and instilled respect in what he did, which has greatly influenced Vinnie. He tells about how he got involved with the White House and had to work directly with the secret service and organize the logistics of everything. We discuss the polarization of America today and how this election has been one of the most polarized in history. Social media has greatly influenced how people communicate today and even how people think. We talk about the Coronavirus, the pandemic, and how it has affected so many people, including their jobs as the economy took a hit.

“A lot of those people that are down on their luck that don’t have the means, that don’t have a paycheck, they just lost their job again. As you know in LA and in New York all these restaurants and everything shut down. So all those people that had a job, they’re hurting. And my thing is to you, just to make yourself feel better go out and volunteer. I mean you could volunteer in 20 different things you could do and you would have some self gratification. At the very least you’ll feel good about yourself.” 49:45
