Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, this was inevitable. Now comes the coronavirus legal blowback.
In Massachusetts. Property owners are fed up. They are suing
the state and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing an
Economic Development. The issue is the eviction moratorium that was
put in place during the lockdown to permit tenants to
stay in their rental properties even if they hadn't paid rent.

(00:22):
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker just extended the eviction moratorium until
the middle of October. A lawyer for the landlord's explains
that one of his clients, a nurse, is owed twenty
dollars in back rent. The nurse is now experiencing serious
financial difficulties because the government did not give her a
moratorium on paying her financial obligations. The lawsuit was filed

(00:46):
in federal court. It accuses the state of violating the
landlord's right to just compensation for what amounts to the
unlawful taking of their property, violating their right to the
legal process, and unconstitutionally im hering their lease agreements. You
can bet there could be a slew of lawsuits like
this across the nation, not just from landlords, but from

(01:08):
thousands of business owners going bust. Because power hungry governors
of liberal states want to keep everything shut down to
damage President Trump. These blue state autocrats believe they are
invincible and unaccountable, and we're about to find out whether
or not they are right as usual, trial lawyers right
in the middle of the mess.
