here in the united states my friends we love our super bowls we love our fried foods we love our freedoms and we love our 2nd amendment you know the amendment that gives every us citizen the right to keep and bear arms boy oh boy were those arms being buried in the state of kentucky on friday when 2nd amendment advocates took their protests against potential gun control measures into the halls of the capitol building in frankfurt spearheaded by a group calling themselves we are kentucky gun owners usa today reports that the gun rights groups there were protesting against many proposed restrictions on the 2nd amendment including a proposed measure labeled an extreme risk protection order or what's called a red flag law which would allow for the temporary removal of firearms from people deemed in danger of harming themselves or others and while the couple 100 predominately white male populated protest was pretty common among dane on the
6:31 am
outside it was the images of the gun rights advocates walking the marble halls of kentucky's capitol building holding a kaizen wearing ski masks that has left many a raised eyebrow david hogue the stillman douglass high school shooting survivor and gun control advocate he tweeted out this might be one of the most extreme forms of white privilege i've ever seen. and you know even as someone like me who supports the 2nd amendment i can't say the bay bridge is wrong in his observations so today my friends let's dissect the core cassady of us society when it comes to the 2nd amendment as we start watching the hawks. what's going on a city the streets. there so you like to see the prices you always state i'll see you slice this crazy city desolate systemic deception is the
6:32 am
late show which is our way so please join us. welcome our own are watching the entire robot joining me today to discuss this and the other big news of the day is political analyst and democratic strategist for cross and the president of the eagle forum educator former education and legal defense fund ed martin whoa man i'm talking it was blown my mind this we get i'm sorry i mean look it's hard to see images of these protesters walking through the hallways of this capitol building old a r.'s of a case which they have a right to own but where the mass of looking like terror i mean you can't i mean they look like crazy soldiers with guns and arms and schemas frightening. i don't think other groups of them could get away with that i don't think even if it was maybe this is me but i don't think a group of black folks black citizens could be dressed like that even you know if they were protesting for the 2nd amendment could walk those halls or be allowed in
6:33 am
the building i don't think you'd see that if there's a latino groups i mean my wrong i absolutely agree with you i think that you know the racial balance of this country have obviously drawn their lines when it comes to who with the as an american 5th in who is worthy of owning a gun and who is not and who within as a threat at the end of the day if you're talking about black or brown people when there is a gun present or there is a good near them they are automatically considered a threat and even you know we're talking about police brutality the part. thing that officers call out is that they felt like there was a threat or they thought that there may have been a gun even issues where instances where there was absolutely no weapon present at all i think that this was a very scary scene 1st and foremost because it was in the nation's capital in a capital of a city but also within within the confines of an actual government building at the end of the day when we're thinking about those areas we think about them as protection we don't necessarily think about them as having every day for the defense arm like this which looks like militant groups well look i'm actually for banning masks in public i mean i think that when they were masks they should be
6:34 am
banned i think if you're not willing to stand up and have your face exposed and it's outrageous i don't know where you guys are coming i was there attested you have to be white to go i know i mean you're saying that you're saying you're saying that i don't know kentucky i don't i didn't look at all the pictures but i'm reminded of charlottesville where people said in charlottesville it was a gathering of white supremacist it wasn't there was lots of people on the side of the white supremacy i'm not trying to say that because that's where that's what that's what the white privilege is is that is the trick box we're down again i think the american way they're unfair to all americans we have a problem with the deep state we have a problem with want law enforcement so when you say you're going to limit my 2nd amendment right none of those people were talked about were arrested for misconduct no no no they weren't in richmond so let's go to chicago and see where they're going so if there was any group of those people are glad it was nobody ever got in through the capitol doors had folks of a different color that's not right out of that well that's your library or not you know i don't really i don't know if i'm. going to say i dare you because i am going
6:35 am
to actually i don't because i don't want to see anybody getting forgotten who goes to the mess that we're going to the next thing all right we are here. by only made it yes monday february 3rd 2020 is the day we've all been waiting for because on monday the iron ones get to vote yes the iowa caucus is that hand this is the starting line that we've all been waiting for since the very 1st circus that would . at a presidential primary debate you remember one witness way a long time ago june of 2000 and you see the iowa caucus get to be the ones who decide which democratic primary candidate gets to take that 1st big step on the road to being named the democratic presidential nominee are to your american atocha suite brings us the lowdown on how bernie joe warren in the rust spent their final weekend before i was big voting day take a look. well the democrats are getting ready to reload their insults against president trump but there were a few campaign fails on the trail this past weekend but along with the good there was also a bit of success for some of the democratic candidates take
6:36 am
a look at this here you can see former vice president joe biden kissing his granddaughter on the lips this was in front of a crowd at a campaign event at clark university in iowa she is reportedly the daughter of biden's son hunter 77 year old has been criticized repeatedly for inappropriate touching something that his supporters say is harmless in des moines iowa over the weekend and biden focused much of his speech attacking the president as we can turn 4 years of donald trump into an aberration historical aberration but 8 years you'll change the country in a way we can tolerate we need you we need you we need you and if you thought this moment of michael bloomberg trying to pet a dog was awkward his back and forth with president trump was also one for the books this week and the president tweeted that quote many mike is negotiating to stand on boxes or lift during the debates a reporter tweeted that he asked bloomberg about this and his response was that he stands twice as tall on the stage that matters i stand before you today as the
6:37 am
granddaughter of an iron ore mine or as the daughter of a teacher in a newspaper man as the 1st woman elected to the u.s. senate from the state of minnesota and a candidate for president of the united states. senator amy klobuchar was playing that permitted western roots during a campaign stop in cedar rapids on the eve of the iowa caucuses some believe the biden wins the nomination that close the. char has a chance and becoming his running mates before the polls are out ad revenue reveals all candidates are throwing more than $70000000.00 into iowa and the president's tweet about many mike wasn't the only one receiving buzz online president trump also made a comment about the democratic national committee not treating bernie fairly democratic campaign made also opened up about the issue saying that bernie is simply not playing by the rules in los angeles and he just weeks r t. goodness gracious so today is the day i just want to throw it to you guys how do
6:38 am
we feel you know how much of a an impact will the winner of i will be i was a bigger impact i was always been a major impact especially since 2000 with democratic voters specifically it signals who's going to be able to make that fund raising haul further down the line is signals who now should receive the amount of attention from voters i was has pretty much decided in many cases the role of the next few primaries it helps to shape the course of the field a few months ago we thought that judge was in 100 percent and i what everybody had him break a good number one nobody saw bernie even polling in the top 3 and today we're seeing something entirely different we've seen warren consistently dip in terms of her race but we've also seen clothes which are actually get some attention so i think that i was shaping up to be a very very interesting ways of the outsider looking in a more well 1st of all when i was on the r. and c. for a couple years i watched iowa with the system is really rigged for money money and consultants so when you see that big money that's one person but look at bernie's night i can almost guarantee it and that happened because on october 19th a
6:39 am
o c endorsed bernie and she and her after us went behind him tonight is the beginning of a civil war in the democrat party and the fact that no one is saying you know we just did a segment on guns and you said kentucky's you know got only white people protesting think about what's going to happen you've got white men at the top of this ticket dominate there's not an african-american in the mix there's not a hispanic in the mix they're all gone and the party things as they take on the civil war that they're go. survive tonight is going to be extraordinary to see but the next 3 months are going to be wild in the democrat party but i was going to clear the field look it's going to end up being 45 left after tonight. well you guys work we go we've got a little bit of time left in this segment i don't want to ask you to predict who will win because i feel that's western anyone can be one obviously i'll go for it but nobody's going to win but he's going to you know yeah that's why the des moines poll was canceled that's why chris matthews is hitting on bernie this morning on morning joe they can't stand that this happened bernie is going to win i think buta judge is going to come in stronger but by the 2nd and after that doesn't matter really to judge and i think that that's i think that's pretty solid only makes here
6:40 am
that is a little bit strange a thing bernie eclipse to be number one right now in iowa i don't think anything else changes in that i'm going forward it's going to be an interesting race because if it starts off with bernie i'm not hard for them you've got new hampshire which is probably going to win the new government bad i was burning also has a pretty good shot of winning the pressure tonight will be whether the lizabeth warned us so poorly that she pulls out tomorrow i mean because she's going to she's going to this is going to do so poorly so it's fallen off the it's really just absolute when she attacked bernie with that fight that really turned off the elizabeth warren comes in anything lower than 3rd i think that this is going to signal something being detrimental to our campaign i want to thank you both for coming on again look see we can all argue about backyard about if you're going to i mean if she was in that is that all going to larn thank you so much mark mr cross always a pleasure thank you so much as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics recovered over social media be sure to check out watching all of the podcast dissolvable in spotify apple music everywhere you listen to your favorite and as i always say not so very. you can also start

6:44 am
speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. since the 1st day of 2002012 incarcerated people have died and a host of disturbing social media videos featuring inhuman conditions have surfaced from behind the walls of the mississippi state prison system and at the center is the notorious apartment. watching the hawks social media producer and journalist springer recently traveled out of the state of mississippi and brought about this brought back this report on the pain of the penitentiary and the protests against
6:45 am
it. when you're inside it's totally different from outside people watched movies and they have gone with prison it's like but they don't know. what it is to be inside we have to take you inside. to a whole lot of things but me to each other the key. thing that i used to get out of. an abnormal situation if you have to make do so you try to figure. but we have to. take to washing your all clothes on your.
6:46 am
washing machines to put your clothes in a bag. you take them to the log and return them in you don't know what you're going to. you might or might. not get it all. the more in the prison which is coming through the wall you bring it to be in the field there. are people. from. the toilets. even and the unit $29.00 is said to be the newest the most modern unit is still crumbling the infrastructure is crumbling and it's visible to anybody who even walks into the unit normally when you go to a visit on unit $29.00 it's going to be hotter it's going to be cold either it's going to be extremely cold outside or is going to be extremely hot inside normally in temperatures in excess of $100.00 degrees there's no actual there's no air
6:47 am
conditioning. there's no aggregation for us in a ventilated area. and in the actual pods in the sales that whole guys they have no circulation at all so what you normally would seeing is that you see. and they're laying on the coal for because units when that is in made out of center blood's cinder blocks they hold in either cool air and they hold the heat so during the summer months they're holding in all the cool air so the gas just lay bare just like bare chested on the floor it's not uncommon to see 5 or 6 guys just laid out and in a sale on the floor vironment is visible in the visiting area rats roaches spiders. and i'm not talking little fires too much biters mosquitoes the size of birds waltz any instinct that you want to see have. in the corners of the facility and these are areas where the public are allowed. i mean there's nothing new about
6:48 am
what's happening in march and i would say in very recent history i think 2 summers ago in august there was basically every other day most of them parchin and in a little bit further back history if we look at the 1970 s. there is this successful suit that they are sort of people win against the state that leads to the end of the trustee system and that was around cruel and unusual punishment so as long as the prison has existed there have been these sort of cruel inhuman conditions and what we're going to continue to see and have seen in the past is these episodic. periods where the state violence is sort of most apparent to us but for people who are incarcerated that state violence every day i would never drink the water or i don't like to wash my hands in the bathrooms because when you turned water it's literally the color of. the water fountains when they
6:49 am
were the same way they were they come on the water fountains scared to drink the guards will tell you not to drink guards give me about water because i didn't have many they went to water but my clients want that water out of the water barriers between 2 ways it's either to chlorinate it or it smells like sewage and so all the pipes leak right so the gas had their socks around the leaky pipes and so if that's not so bright. they know not to drink the water if the socks are why they know chlorine is in the water we can wash our clothes and if you don't drink the water you're going to drink it at that time if there is a boil water notice in the area the gas will get by the water there are still forced to drink that water they take their medication what water that smells like they take medication in water that visibly if you put it in a cup and they have the gas will take it they let the water sit and they let all the. particles go to the bottom and then they just drink the water.
6:50 am
conditions at parchin and have been this way for. behind me is the mississippi state penitentiary known locally as parchment prison where an astounding 9 individuals have died in the past month alone since the start of the new year reports of everything from fights and fires and suicides to insufficient food and water supplies power outages and individuals sleeping on the floors have been reported and a mountain of human rights abuses are allegedly going on behind these walls we traveled here today to speak with locals activists politicians celebrities and everyone in between and to try and figure out why these things are happening here parchment and what can be done to fix the problem in order to understand the current crisis inside parchment you have to go way back in history and understand the prison's roots of former governor of mississippi and open my supreme mrs james k. vardaman was instrumental in creating the mississippi state prison he believed that
6:51 am
the money made from convict leasing and chain gang should go to the state instead of private entities and those of the mississippi state penitentiary was born the prison itself is a reform so parchment prison comes about at the turn of the last century as a as a way to sort of. undo what some people are see as the problems of the comically system and in particular. the governor at the time james vardaman who is an unapologetic white supremacist actually runs on a campaign of white supremacy. believed that the problem with comic leasing was not really the sort of. human rights abuse that it was but rather that he saw it as sort of lining the pockets of the plantation class so he was a white supremacist populist and believe that this sort of state run plantation style prison would instead be a way of sort of socializing african-americans to their place which he saw as
6:52 am
manual labor the reform that led to the establishment of parchment was also way it's a crime assist in its intent so as i mentioned james james martin is the person who established. parchment and he used to actually incarcerated people on the grounds of parchment with bloodhounds for sport so if you think about that kind of context in which this place is born there's really no separating white supremacy. of the timeline the so there were about 4 or 5 it's within 3 or 4 days between december 29th and jane where 2nd either on january 2nd in the o.c. issued a statement stating that everything was under control however on january 3rd 2 more people died as a result of incidents that occurred with. one of the indio see it was still that
6:53 am
these throughout the state we did a timeline breakdown of everything that was occurring once we did that time last week we deployed the article on twitter facebook all of our platforms and certainly it began to go really viral we posted a video image. that was sent to us of several mean being housed in a. in unit 32 of parchment unit 32 apartment has been condemned and closed down since 2009 says 2000 for over 10 years and that was closed down when a.c.l.u. into the agreement with the city state prison for parchment to close it down the reason it was closed down was because it was a hellhole the essential it was it was a place where where 6 of the people that were being housed there it was the different facility it was the place where where people who were very sick was also being housed but it was also a place that was
6:54 am
a violent place to say the least essentially the a.c.l.u. decided that this facility should no longer be open so for 10 years this this place had been closed down in this was the place that. these these incarcerated people were moved to this was still a t. now is flooded it has black mold in it they have no mattresses it basically has not been maintained in 10 years it was continue to be able to in years ago but we have video surfaces of these men inside of this facility and we had already told the story that no other new site was telling with regard to those men being in unit 32 nobody else had disclosed it because they didn't have the inside information once we got it we shared it and we shared their video on the video went viral on twitter it was shared by. many hip hop artists and it's heinous on twitter in instagram can people like t.i.
6:55 am
and david banner and big create a thing even so a lot of rappers have really been vocal about it parchment is located at least 2 hours away from any major cities making it difficult for lawyers and their members and having kids to visit in recent months incarcerated people have used contraband cell phones to share videos and photos of their conditions on social media. and in the news a voice transparency in a deadly situation. one of the prison officials allege that bruising gangs are to blame for the mounting drives emerged and many are pushing against that narrative stating that the inhuman conditions are driving people beyond sanity i think now all of that. technology that now we're going to have people now they're going to be able to see inside and i think that's what's threatening to. the people that are supposed to be in charge of the prisons not disappoint i think this is what's threatening to warm because you can't you get so many people and so much of that is around so much controversy and they were going there you can't you can't
6:56 am
really control or find out who were to get this from who and so it's going to continue to leak we're going to change them no more things that continue to slip because people are getting bold but now people are also coming up get the main way their prisons have been able to skirt any type of regulation authority around issues involving prisoners in litigation pretty much came out of the night and if i haven't congress passed the prison litigation reform act and what that was is that at that time congress was seeing in prisons we're seeing a large number of prisoners filing suits about the conditions that they lived in and it was causing a backlog and a backlog. in the system and so congress wanted a way to limit the rights of prisoners to bring federal lawsuits about the conditions that they were being to. and so what the p.l.r. a does is that it basically calls for prisoners to allow their captors
6:57 am
high and knowingness to fix issues that are conditions based so basically what you have to do is that you have to say you have to say to the people who are holding you in these conditions hey. this is why artists males like for this water tastes like laurie and then you have to give those people are a reasonable amount of time to address the issue before you can move on. to even falla lawsuit against the president. who absolutely powerful stuff and are going to want to definitely check out the 2nd half of that report by watching the hawks social media driven sport and we're about to when we air that later this week so thank you all for coming and watching the show today that's all we got for you that is our show remember everyone in this world we are told not told that we are loved and love so i tell you all i love you i rolled for
6:58 am
a keep watching all those hawks out there that were great day and night. thinking of getting it done the ones we got in here she. says he didn't know and still trapped in this tiny little wired building near the crate with him he will just start freaking out and he will when it's pretty many where near. breeding dogs are caged in inhumane conditions on puppy i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection. if you look you. know it's a kid. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and stores most of the puppies that
6:59 am
are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a good businesses are involved like gillum santa there has been a shocking amount of the organized opposition to adverts to increase. standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs. who put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. that you'd like to be the 1st to see what the $43.00 of the 4 can be good. i mean 1st of all those at the water's edge.
7:00 am
there should be. disarray and dismay in the u.s. state of iowa as the democratic party is plagued by technical difficulties but no russian rockets have nothing to do with the results of the contest of the 2020 primary season are now not expected until she has a. new arrest of an alleged war criminal who lives in hungary and then falls on a student visa reveals a serious not apparent fools of you which could terrorists. no public transportation in the fun shopping malls. and cinemas. during this period all closed as china scrambles to prevent the spread of the deadly could.
