good. especially for kids. on long island parents filed legal challenge against the governor's mask mandate and republican county executive explained why he supports them. >> there's no emergency, there's no crisis. people can go to restaurants, they can go to costco, they can go to hockey games, basketball games and why are we putting the burden on our children? there is no threat to the children. that's for science, even they recognize that. is this just a game of who's in power, who's the boss? kennedy: yes, it is. the backing of many new york republicans, gubernatorial candidate is alvin want kathy hochul's job, he tweeted kathy hochul is arrogantly shooting intoxicated on power and causing mass confusion.

it's inconsistent. unscientific and driven narcissism, i wonder where she learns that from. andrew cuomo 2.0, that rhymes. kathy hochul took over after he resigned in disgrace, he should be in jail, she's fighting to keep tasks on everyone's faces after her win in court today, she said the statement as governor, my top priority is predicting the people -- so that was in there. in the mask mandate stay in effect for how long? we got man panel tonight, conservative strategist and vice president is fair and from look at the hockey. former democrat, congressman cohost of the five on the fox news channel, harold ford junior is back and director of the libertarian institute, one and only, scott horton, welcome, everyone. this is very confusing, i don't

know what's happening. masks are the hill everyone wants to die on. if you're mad about the mandates, you refuse to wear a mask on planes but if you are governor like kathy hochul, you ignore from your constituents asking to make those decisions themselves. the courts are all over the place, where are we going from here? >> we are going in the same circle over and over again. people keep saying mask supporters, just wait a few more weeks, months, the wave will past. then the next wave will hit in the wave after that. there's always going to be an excuse for this type of authoritarian behavior. if it's safe for me to go to a restaurant and eat dinner without a mask on, how is it not safe for me to walk into the restaurant without a mask on? the logic -- if this is so dangerous incommunicable and deadly that people ought to be wearing masks all the time then

they should be wearing the masks all the time. we know at this time we got to years of data, we know they are not dramatically different outcomes between state localities that chose draconian mask mandate and the ones who didn't so why are we continuing? its political theater. kennedy: and facet, if you had kids dying in private schools where they happen attending and not necessarily masking and kids in public schools staying at home living longer completely different data sets, i do understand. do you feel people's pain here? >> i do, thanks for having me back on. i look at it a little different, when you consider we had more than 2000 deaths i think yesterday, the highest even during the delta variant, i think there's still concern

around number one how to variance emerged, how they grow up in the constituents with a corrupt and amongst the unvaccinated and people have every right to be vaccinated or unvaccinated, i am vaccinated and boosted. i hope every american would get if you don't there are challenges. if the court decides mask mandate are not constitutional and it goes to the next level thing we have to abide by the law. as the law stands, i understand the motivation which is to keep people safe, it may be frustrating and inconvenient but so is a virus and so is the fact that we have almost 860,000 americans who have died from in just 2100, i believe 2100 yesterday, the highest the peak almost a year end a half ago so we should take a step back and understand that's what's motivating some of this. kennedy: i understand that. >> i don't know if she sounds like that but it was interesting

to hear you say that. kennedy: i will say this in my defense, she looks like she sounds like that. [laughter] i have not attended a lot of her speeches, i tried to watch for. so scott, what should we be doing? as people who want to stay safe and healthy but also want to live freely, should we be pushing back? is it time to demand and of mask mandate and let individuals decide if they want to protect themselves by wearing a mask in public settings? >> absolutely. i have covid in my household right now so i'm staying home tonight and i think that's the most government should ever ask of anyone. if you are sick and might have it, then stay home, and on the safe side but again, i'll urge people to go to covid quiz.com, you can match up state by state

and city by city and compare states and cities with draconian markdowns and mask mandate versus those who did not have them at the same time and compare the curves and waves the virus comes and goes after toilet for you, no one can pass the quiz which is by chance, you can't tell the difference. the real problem is especially for the democrats but the entire government really, they don't want to have to admit that nothing they've done the whole time has mitigated the virus. it's upper respiratory virus. it's going to go around, it's going to mutate and keep passing around and eventually mutate to be less dangerous but they don't just want to have to admit we shouldn't really happen trying to force you to wear a mask the last few years so it's like the iraq war where people didn't want to admit there's no weapons so we are just here to give the people freedom and just keep the thing going instead of admitting

ever wrong and shouldn't have done it in the first place. kennedy: and it's impossible for government officials to do that. it's the weirdest thing about no people seeking power universally or the united states but it's so rare and hard for politicians to say we did the best we could at the time, we learned it's wrong and we are sorry. not going to do that but the keep going and pushing and the crazy thing is, 85% of mask people where don't protect against the virus especially the most transmissible vehement strain, they don't. are they going to force us all to where n95 masks and have dents on our faces? some of us are too pretty to be masked and i'm speaking for junior right now. denied a heart transplant for being unvaccinated. if the father of three has been

hospitalized since november due to genetic heart condition for the hospital says recipients are at a higher risk of dying in the vaccine gives a greater chance of survival against covid. they'd rather let the man die instead of trying to save his life. the benign transplants to the unvaccinated over 106,000 people on the transplant list and some have been waiting for years before covid was a big so should everyone see one regardless of their status? , i feel for this guy, he's got three kids, he's on deaths door, his doctors said it could cause her information can't take anymore of it or you will die so i know the people hospitalized regardless of vaccination status

have several comorbidities so people who have comorbidities, are you going to get them off the transplant list because they won't do well against the virus? >> shows how quickly the pandemic turned to society. literally we are now telling people you have to take a vaccine that might, might protect your life and if you don't then we will just let you die. it's complete insanity. it's also pathological addiction to the vaccine. they don't want to talk about anything else. even horrible abusive and cruel things letting some guy die because he won't get vaccinated because you have to protect the vaccine and talking points at all cost. they've decided the only way out

is to vaccinate their way out why they won't talk about early treatment or other things. they are addicted to the vaccine so they are willing to take it to a logical and to let a man actually die want take a vaccine who might or might not protect, it's insane. kennedy: it might kill you so we are going to make sure you die. >> i tend to agree with you, i don't think, this is a leading research and health institution in the country and claim it's based on medical data, i'm a christian, i can't why you would allow this person not to have a transplant because of the vaccine and not a doctor or medical professional but i disagree with what they are doing and agree with scott. kennedy: it's really about ethics and preserving life ultimately what we are supposed to do. for most people, they can

withstand it, some of the population can be harmed by it in their doctors advise against it and it should be taken into consideration but i want to ask redoing this the wrong way in the country? putting everyone on a giant single list? >> i think the whole pandemic reveals especially people who lean left in favor the idea of a payer healthcare that this is the kind of thing you end up with when you have such a life planning, sorry for the analysis but it is like our policy, we've agreed in a meeting one day we wrote it down, we are sticking with it no matter how crazy it gets are counterproductive. once a policy has been decided they will justify any atrocity and i'm not sure this is the same or not, i think it us but i couldn't find a story earlier today i saw it last week where he posted audio of his phone

call with the hospital and with a lady on the phone saying sorry, sir, those are the rules. the most condescending manner and he should have other options, they should be no single donor list and however it works, vastly decentralized system of healthcare including organ transplants in the country so the promise like that at johns hopkins or wherever, it's not able to make that decision for somebody in a way that applies across the board and read another case where a guy had a note from five different doctors, the vaccine itself would endanger him be counterproductive and they say no, sorry, sir. those are the rules, once they've been decided upon, that finality like our criminal courses, the finality is more important than adults being smart in doing the right thing.

kennedy: they are cruel and inhumane so we will have to go back to the drawing board on a lot of us when we can finally have honest conversations without fear of being canceled or shuttered for asking basic questions and that's where boeing all going through. panel a sticking run, much more to discuss. coming up next, piling up on the ukraine russian border. nato is still writing strongly. what will the u.s. do before he enrolls in the altar of the request is he planning on doing that? amazon may be getting into the cannabis game. stay tuned. ♪♪

thanks for nothing, russia. everything is under control. according to ukraine president vladimir zaleski, 125,000 russian troops are on his four from across artane, artillery, helicopters, missiles and not enough bottle. ukrainian leader and his defense minister says there's no reason to panic though the threat from

putin's military is prevalent in the future. president biden and the pentagon seem more concerned their writing 8500 troops and reportedly considering as many as 50000 more. that's a real prom night. what is putin really after? is there any hope left for diplomacy? joining me now, veterans of the u.s. mission and founder of the dark secret place.com, subscribe today, it is brian looking very mountainous. >> i'm considering a strongly worded thank you for your but right now thank you. kennedy: so let us discuss, what if we do nothing? >> doctor greenline and sadly, we've put ourselves into this corner and if we do nothing and you know the follow-on effects, he's done for the fourth time from a second time during olympics year china's hosting of

the same playbook as 2008, 2014, just ask georgia all about putin building people up on your border, that was a far smaller invasion but still major muscle movement that cost a lot of money, this is one of the things no one is appreciating in the american media, it cost him a lot of money to move marine corps base, check your risk board. eleven time zones, five days to move those guys and he's not reducing the fence around nato, he didn't lose anyone i must he's moving from the pacific ocean just like he did in 2014, some of the same unit so sabic the time for diplomacy they cancel the meeting because of covid worries, that's convenient, isn't it?

kennedy: natural covid republic, everyone knows that, i don't buy that line at all but i do think it's a bad idea to get into a conflict with russia. >> that's the thing, we've already said i never want joe biden negotiating for used car for me or anything like that. in history telling a dictator what you're not prepared to do if he does a bad thing is not a winning strategy, you can ask germans and 38 and 39, you can ask any parent of a 4-year-old trying to hide the chips ahoy. kennedy: what about asking the germans now? they don't seem as concerned. ukrainians and germans much less concerned and the british and americans, why is that? >> they are saying it's because putin weaponize freezing children. part of the precursor will

involve a hack probably in ukraine that will cut off the nordstrom pipeline because what he'll do is say it's not my fault you don't have gas, i built the second pipeline to go directly to germany and they know he's going to because he doesn't play fast pitch softball, he plays hardball and he knows what he'll get and he has nato, he just wants to break up, it's the best leverage he's had, it's afghanistan times 100, germany actively preventing raf aircraft flying direct route to ukraine with missiles and germans are saying we thought they were going to bomb again. they have absolutely gotten in bed with the junkies, really dumb. kennedy: they are the junkies. i don't know where we are in this scenario, i want to seek

the u.s. have any part, there plenty of people part of nato war over there and we should be over here not letting joe biden make life or death decisions especially when americans in innocent ukrainians die. >> we do have indications from monaghan and others russian vehicles are now made with aircrews moving from areas, moving court, tends covid in snow five days ago are now green so the heat is on. this is one of the most expensive plus he's ever had because he'll say. kennedy: get off fossil fuels and see how all of it changes. i don't know what russia is going to do when we are no longer using their dirty gas. >> his diplomacy -- all right. kennedy: finish her sentence, people are dying. >> diplomacy is going to be break up nato, back to 1997 and take eastern ukraine and fill it

with russians anyway and it took demographic time bomb, who's getting who? they love us, he already has a third of ukraine right now. kennedy: i hope ukrainian thousand do that with my family and take people. thank you so much. coming up, about to get a cash cow, they are milking the commies hosting the olympics, and bc will get a billing dollars from house republicans, they are worried about influence over the network, they want answers from nbc executives and tell you what they are asking for. ♪♪

nbc going to make tons of money for the beijing olympics and that has lawmakers very concerned. a new report claims house republicans wrote a letter warning executives not to fall prey to communist propaganda across over human rights abuses

to appease the chinese government, lawmakers given china's history of censorship and government control in the fact that the internet international for coverage of the game. we are concerned about the extent of influence he may have over universal coverage of the game. can nbc be trusted to stay loyal so stars & stripes from the main panel is back. scott horton, on think they can be trusted. frankly, i think the money is to enticing. >> embassy is no different than the nba or nike, all willing to turn a blind eye, the genocide, to suppression of rights in china, as long as they make a buck.

the members of congress because free-market capitalism works best when consumers have information and we need to know, we need to know to what extent they've agreed to axis propaganda for the communist party of china consumers deserve to know and then we can make the informed decision to turn off the network. kennedy: bob koster, one time legend of nbc who will always be my eternal broadcaster crush, he's even said incredibly problematic the ioc granted china to gain again in 2008, the grantor became to the russians and now china has them once again, i wouldn't be surprised if china is looking over the shoulders of producers as these segments but i'm upset and disappointed at the ioc for getting to this. >> i think your anger at the ioc is rightly appropriate are appropriated. it transplanted political with the senator's, if the senators

believe strongly, i'm not saying they shouldn't but they believe so strongly america should not dissipate in the olympics, that's what we should take. i'm not going to malign -- we can't convince the chinese to allow us into china to investigate the wuhan lab i'm fairly certain and bc outward to be able to take cameras into camps or anywhere and expose that nor i think bc will engage in anything other than promoting american athletes from all a lot of talent will be there. the real issue here, i understand both arguments, should we participate the olympics? our efforts even becoming? i understand the argument they train hard, a lot has been invested and i can understand people coming down from easily understand america taking the position for wta which has tournaments and not allowing athletes to participate but it's senators are so serious they should have done this in

october, november and urged america to not participate in the olympics in china swore to. kennedy: or done it when they were announced getting the game- >> that's why your kennedy, exactly. kennedy: i don't agree at least with the wta, there's tournament the players will miss in china but guess what, they are going to play in all the majors, they get to play in french open, u.s. office, they get to play in australia, everywhere. it's fine, they will miss of you in china but not worth young athletes missing could amongst the highlight of their lives must not. >> it should not be politicized at all, let the athletes compete this is their moment. frankly, it's just laughable. i hate to think of people around the world watching on their satellite television laughing at themselves about the americans talking about criticizing other countries for human rights

abuses. are you kidding me? u.s. government is responsible for the deaths of met as many as 2 million people so far in this country including perpetrating the genocide, the ongoing genocide against the people of yemen for seven years now started by obama and continued by trump, continued by biden in spite of promises, hundreds of thousands people killed the saudi's used our bombs to bomb civilians in their infrastructure last geneva convention, kingdom come and move on and pointing fingers at chinese. kennedy: i do, actually and i agree with you on a lot, certainly on yemen but we are responsible for 2 million civilian deaths, the chinese are responsible for a million uighur dots and they are just the ones we know about. >> that's all propaganda. kennedy: does not propaganda. rounding people up because they

are minorities -- come on man. you are smarter than that. >> 1 million dead? that's not true, that's crazy. saddam hussein and his giant human shredder, is propaganda. kennedy: i wish it were back in reporting on the uyghurs since. [two bells tolling] and i'm not going to stop now but i agree with you on most of that but i think china, the regime is murderous commies and they shouldn't have the olympics in the first place. >> adrian fans responsible for most of the propaganda, he's had to walk back a lot of the numbers his claims are they've expanded birth control and that amounts to genocide. when you say a million dead, it sounds like you are describing a war zone. kennedy: you can call it torture or birth-control or whatever term they want to use, i didn't like it when britney spears was under conservatorship and i don't like birth-control under the hands of the commies. and they are masters at propaganda.

>> but the entire population of china is not free. that doesn't mean people are being exterminated by the millions, that's not the same, it's not true. kennedy: okay fine, let's say it's 100,000, that's 100,000 too many for me. meanwhile amazon must be seeing green because they are getting republican but, nancy may introduced the states reform act in november, her bill would legalize marijuana federally finally leaving states to decide decide. >> it's been a very long and expensive and harmful federal war on clients and time to edit. the state will be a mix driver see and determine no one state law will be forced to change under this particular federal bill but it gives the federal government accolades from a very low tax structure at 3% and

regulates and allows it to do whatever it is they want. kennedy: this is a great place to start. this morning amazon tweeted we are pleased to endorse states reform act like so many in the country who believe it's time to reform the nation's cannabis policy and amazon is committed to helping lead the efforts. what's amazon's angle here? do they support freedom or be the nations prime dealer? i'll have a problem with any of that. [laughter] >> they are doing it because of money. we'll pretend they love liberty, they just do it for money and i don't care their reason for doing that. this is a good first step in ending the war on drugs, it's a very good first step in ought to be left up to states and the federal government ought to be out altogether. it just bums me out, i hate amazon so much and i have to admit they are doing the right

thing, it rains on my little parade here. kennedy: harold, while other giant corporations follow suit? >> let me first say go usa. i'm probably may be the only person on this panel on the other side, i've not heard a good argument yet, i'm not for legalizing the people they want to, i think there should be fewer penalties but i don't like the notion in reality of walking up and down the street smelling marijuana everywhere. i don't have anything against amazon, i'm against this issue and i hope they are not successful. kennedy: almost perfect. almost. [laughter] all right, scott we don't have a lot of time left but would you like to give harold a trimmer on why this is necessary? >> the thing is, people think it's a trivial issue because pot itself is trivial but that's why it's an important issue. people's lives are destroyed over this. people are shot by cops over

drug searches, over searches that begin as the smell of weed somewhere. felonies backed up, lives destroyed, fathers and mothers locked away from their children sometimes for decades prepping in the business of selling pot and you talk about communist china, this is the kind of thing i'd expect from them. kennedy: no, they'll straight up kill you if you have it there. >> but can we turn to our neighbors against each other in this insane way? apparently so. kennedy: we can't like stanford because cory booker played for them. man panel, thank you so much. thank you all. hallelujah. coming up, member michael avedon? the idiot lawyer who tried to take on former president trump? he's on trial for stealing from stormy daniels.

mike chase is here to breakdown the case next. ♪♪

i'm going to lose my mind here. the last the winner was becky from last night. here's a guy always crossing the border line, michael of an addict or preventing himself in the third criminal trial previously found guilty of extortion against nike, brilliance. this time wire fraud aggravated identity theft for stealing $300,000 from clients, stormy daniels. this is the guy many claimed was presidential material. he's looking at another conviction and if so, how much time can he get? here to discuss, attorney and author of how to become a

federal criminal which michael avenatti read, it is mike chase. he's got to guilty convictions already and now he's fired his federal defender and he wants to represent himself, does that mean will question stormy daniels? >> yes, that's probably what's going to happen next, he already began stint of the criminal defendant today. his former paralegal on the stand, any lawyer knows you don't take off your paralegal so she was testifying against him of the trial and she knows where the bodies are buried. the next thing that will happen is when stormy daniels is testifying it's going to be michael avenatti cross-examining his victim and i think that's going to be pretty devastating. kennedy: yeah that's weird though because he apparently is not going to say she talks to dead people, a haunted doll named susan who among us but

he's not really talking about the charges against him, he's trying to malign her, how easy will it be to make her sympathetic to the jury? >> it's right on all those things and still found guilty because he started with the signature on the he's charged with taking her money without permission and the chronology here is clear, he kept lying to her saying he received the money and she didn't receive the money so she contacted her publisher directly and they said no, we sent it to michael automatic so she can be unreliable, the forgery is not going to lie and the fact that she never received the money is not going to lie. kennedy: what kind of representation does she have it is just the federal government bring against him on her behalf?

>> some boys don't really get to participate in the process all that much, it's going to be incumbent upon the prosecutors. i think there's two really good lawyers here working for the government on the one hand you have prosecutors working for the government and now michael automatic working for the government functionally forget he's not going to do a good job by any stretch. he's walked lost all his credibility in every criminal defense lawyer knows all you have is your credibility and he's spent it all already someone he's talking to the jury, it's gone. stormy will be guided with very direct question from the government and they will build the case and michael avenatti is going to bully her on the stand and that's not going to play well for a jury. kennedy: and it's really weird because we've seen jussie smollett testify and kyle rittenhouse and obviously split verdicts for each of them. so michael avenatti going after

her, i don't think it's going to be good, is it televised? >> no, it's federal court so they have a federal rule that can be televised. but we are getting really great tweets coming out of the courtroom sort of live tweeting the transcripts will be released at some time so you and i should do a dramatic reading of the transcripts. kennedy: can we do that on my podcast? >> absolutely, that would be great. kennedy: my heart is fluttering. thank you so much, have a wonderful night. you're brilliant, you are hired.
