that's. let's say i'm a. thank you for. the story that's right. greetings and sal you take shit you know i opened up the merriam webster dictionary today and found some of the many definitions of liberty they are the power to do as one pleases or the power of choice 11 definition that has been tossed around in
3:31 pm
political circles rallies for the definition of liberty a lot these days is that liberty is the freedom from arbitrary or despotic control . and it was apparently this particular definition that led hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of u.s. citizens across the country from michigan and minnesota down to texas and up to colorado to throw down their face masks and rubber gloves and take to their streets their capitol buildings and their governor's residences in protest of the social distancing policies and stay at home borders that have affectively closed businesses both large and small across the country since the start of the code 19 pandemic us president donald trump he triumphantly egged those protesters on tweeting proudly liberate michigan liberate minnesota and liberate virginia yes it was our undying need for liberty and freedom that caused these protests to take place much like the boston tea party of old. or at least that's the bill of
3:32 pm
goods that was sold to these poor souls who are out there like lemmings putting themselves and their families a risk they have been sold that their lives are only worth the work that they do for the corporations that own them and that not being able to go to applebee's or great clips or wrestling matches means that somehow the constitution or bill of rights no longer exists here in the united states but do not blame these poor souls out there protesting they are clearly going through the denial and anger phases of the 7 stages of coronavirus grief and they are being taken advantage of by these people. save your blame for the ghouls that ban the flames of fear paranoia and the rejection of common medical sense ghouls like these 2 we have people dying 45000 people a year die from automobile accidents 480000 from cigarette syria and 60000
3:33 pm
a year from swimming pools that we don't shut the country down for there but yet we're doing it through this new models are out of control think ana me is out of control china is the one that's out of control we're not going to let you destroy this country or our way of life we've worked too hard and we fought too long to lose it to us and. you see they only care about your liberty when it threatens their livelihood and their political connections and they are why you always must be watching the hawks. on a city street. let's see this is your state. grace suggests least systemic dissent says please show. some.
3:34 pm
welcome on the watch in the arts i am tyrone butter and i'm of a major that's the people i believe that we need to be holding accountable for this not these poor idiots in the streets who are thinking that they're losing their liberty by actually staying safe and staying indoors but the people that are feeding them those kind of pack of lies like you know dr phil over here try to make a comparison but car accidents are somehow the same as a covert meant to give me a break dr phil is taking a page from president trump as as you probably recall before we instituted the stay at home waters and things like that back in february early march president trump was actually going around saying that he was staying in a part of podiums across the country basically there are so many people that die from car accidents so why don't we take this seriously that was basically the posturing that he was given for the entire country and the funny thing about that clip is you can tell that dr phil was actually reading off those that he literally have paper and he was going line by line while he was describing this so something
3:35 pm
in him said to prepare beforehand before he actually said this completely ridiculous comments but then about dr bill and those of his ilk is that he's been selling lies to america for a long time and i think that now you know he's aligned himself with this president he feels like he has an audience a broad audience that has followed him for a year so he has in some ways the delicate sense of credibility among people. and i think he just it shows that he took it to court because we're seeing massive backlash from his comments there people who have lost relatives there people who've lost loved ones there are folks who are still being tested and going through everything right now so those comments aren't really settling well no and i think people have to remember is that the motivation for this it's and they want to get their economy working because they they're losing money doctor bills losing money because people don't have that extra income that they usually send them to watch his show or buy his books you know judge jeanine you know her political connections are losing ground which makes her feel really scared and upset like oh my goodness
3:36 pm
plus she should stick to water before she does a show and they're exercising i don't know what she does do but stick to water judge as you know and you know in an advertising things like that but these people are all really snake oil salesman during this time of crisis it's not a you know this is about protecting us and look i understand the fear that people are going through they see their wages dropping you know they feel that that's frightening thing of what do i do this doesn't feel right i should be at home i should be out it's not as bad as they're saying i get it i do but your liberty means just as much as my liberty just because you want to go out and go back shopping again and go to the store and go to the barber doesn't mean i want you to infect my liberty doesn't mean i want you to take away my liberty to not get sick or not have a member of my family get sick absolutely and then they think but it's easy for them to can text realize this is a liberty argument because you always have those rally around the flag people who are all to write jump on this these are the same folks who are against rallying when it is black matter these are the same folks who are against rallying when it's
3:37 pm
women who are pro-choice or individuals who are pro-choice in general these are individuals who are going state when it comes to civil rights they don't care but now when it comes to something that they feel like they want to do when i think that you're right it's because of a means of production it's because it's understandable that people feel that they need to be able to get back to work i don't think anybody denies that on either side of the aisle but there is something to be said about pope. health and to have a president lead the way in people ignoring this public health crisis and feeling like they can just jump out even though we do not have the testing capacity yet to even show how many people actually have this virus i think is completely ignorant it is and don't don't let them in the late your mind into believing that somehow the economy matters more than people's lives you know you see dr oz walked it back but you see doctors saying well you know 2 to 3 percent of school children or people getting sick when we got kids back into school that's that's ok losses now i think is that just that's not it there's no such thing like when you hear talk like
3:38 pm
that that's militaristic terms that's that's people you know trying to basically make you comfortable with knowing that lots and lots and lots of people are going to die because of their failures and their secondary argument inherent in that is that you are only good as long as you have means of production they don't care about a lot of the older people dying because they're not contributing to we just everyday they're not the people who are contributing to the economy if this was split if younger people were the ones who were higher rates of death then we would see the argument being entirely different and we definitely would you go you know you'd be jumping all around and you saw the same thing when the aids pandemic 1st to it way back in the early eighty's it was like well only gay folks are getting it so i don't care why do i care about all that and then suddenly want to jump to like hetero folks then somewhere all over and suddenly you have to all go away we've got to pay attention to this now you know but the bottom line is of course you have a right to speak your mind of course you have to watch out for people trying to take your rights in moments of crisis because there's a lot of people who will try to use crisis for that but staying at home and being safe staying at home and not infecting people that is not something about taking
3:39 pm
away liberty that's about actually protecting all our liberties swirl health safety and and helping them out and if we lift all of the restrictions tomorrow these thousands of jobs aren't about to combat exactly exactly. $1000.00 cases continue to sweep across the u.s. with the death toll rising over $41.00 how's that and at least $700.00 said. 2000 confirmed cases the burden of burm cases is a bit tricky as to still want to be a level for the majority of americans and diplomatic carriers of the buyers walk among us every single day the precautions to protect against our well known social distancing rigorous and repeated hand washing and wearing masks all of these things though helpful can't be done everywhere prisons and jails are among the list of places where covert 19 is poised to take hundreds of thousands of lives if we don't act quickly in my hometown of chicago the cook county jail one of the largest jail
3:40 pm
systems in the country has its own battle with 19 the rate of infection there is higher than any jail in america with more than 500 testing positive as of last week and the number continues to grow but in one way it isn't the only in cost of state basement its midwestern neighbor ohio is well more than $800.00 inmates at the marion correctional institution have tested positive book about the virus the ohio department of health contributes the state's influx of coronavirus cases solely to the prison at merion correctional a whopping 73 percent of the population tested positive for the virus ohio is rushing to find medical support to treat the overwhelming number of prisoners and staff exposed to a contract to corona virus but it isn't enough. prison and jail is a breeding ground for viruses and many already lack the safety and sanitation needed to slow the spread additionally there is no real way to social distance at all in these facilities. keeping inmate locked up while the virus is spreading it
3:41 pm
uncontrolled rate in an environment with no real protection is essentially giving the death penalty to hundreds of thousands of people we've seen some state leaders finally get it right like maryland governor larry hogan who recently signed an executive order releasing hundreds of inmates how long will it take others to follow 6. 1000000 dollar question right there and it's an important question that we have to ask because we have to take care of everybody in our society not just not just the ones that we love but also the ones that we we are afraid over that we don't want to take care of them too if we're just in principle society and this is an incredible story when you talk about 1800 cases in one prison in ohio that's massive 73 percent of their population and they have no real means of slowing the spread at all it's elevated to the state department of health they're trying to do what they can but right now the issue is one they don't have the faffing capacity in terms of nurses and doctors but in addition to that we don't really know even if
3:42 pm
that is a total number because this is a people who are actually able to see a doctor and get tested in prison i think that most people don't don't take into consideration that a lot of our prisoners in jails as well they have to pay co-pays to see a doctor while they're there to get treatment from a doctor while they're there and where is money coming from they're not getting regular cash they're not allowed to keep you know they're absolutely working there getting pushed the limits that many cases but they're earning $0.05 that are given for slave wages essentially and what's crazy too is as you know when you look into this whole story is the at the very least the crisis in ohio the correctional facility the economy and illinois cook county they both could have been averted correct absolutely it was one of those things where the state they have been going . back and forth the state legislators have been working on since the since the advent of covert 1000 years we learned about it what was going to happen with the jail and prison population these arguments have been going on in the left and the right at state houses across the country not off the country notwithstanding ohio
3:43 pm
or illinois and what we're seeing is a lot of muscle flexing from both parties in the state in the states than in the state house and we're not seeing a lot of action in terms of directives coming out as to how we're going to deal with this population. that we have and i mean what what what do we mean what trumps didn't try to jump forward with those at the 1st didn't try to be like oh i'm here for the prisoners and that's me i think a lot of people gave him credit for the 1st and that on both sides of the aisle and what we know was that of the hundreds of thousands of people that were supposed to get out under the 1st step that less than 20 percent of those people have actually been released one of the issues with jails and prisons alike is that there's so much red tape that even when you see something from the federal level come down it could take years before we see the people who are actually eligible to be released see the light of day and that's truly just breaks my heart because think of how many nonviolent offenders make the u.s. prison system and we're not even talking about the federal. jail for profit ones
3:44 pm
you can even get down to like county local jails and things like that where you've got people just in jail locked up for no reason and now they've got a virus rampaging through there was always that let's not forget there's still the jailers who also can get sick from this correct exactly and that is what we're also seeing so you're having jailers you're having a lot of the even some of the wardens there are people who are literally taking off and have been taking off for weeks to avoid actually catching something because they don't have p.p. equipment either and they don't have masks were running out of so like there's a lot going on there and no one's really paying that much attention. but we are and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. app available on smartphones through google play and the apple app store by searching simply portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. . by downloading the portable t.v. app on apple t.v. or online at portable t v more devices will be available for portable t.v. coming soon and coming up next on this show we'll be discussing the possibility of
3:45 pm
seeing the u.s. military deployed on u.s. streets in response to the cold 19 pandemic you don't want to miss this discussion state to the watching the hawks. has changed many american lives the pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their prescription is working for them in the remedy he said to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't
3:46 pm
3:47 pm
all right earlier in the show we were discussing the recent protests popping up across the united states over the covert 19 stay at home and the social distance distancing orders and how the motivation behind many of those protests were a direct result of the manipulation of the us populace is fear of tyranny and loss of liberty and will stay at home orders and social distancing for the safety of the community are not and should not be cause for constitutional concern that doesn't mean citizens should not remain vigilant in their protection of their most basic of rights in a time of crisis taking our eye off that ball is how we got stuck with constitutional shredding laws like those found in the patriot act and that is why many are starting to raise the alarm over the potential use of u.s. military personnel here at home in the battle against this virus newsweek reported recently that the u.s. military is preparing forces to assume a larger role in the coronavirus response including the controversial mission of quelling civil disturbances and then forcing the law
3:48 pm
a mission that the military has not engaged in for almost 30 years joining us now to discuss the dangers of the flying the us military here at home in a time of crisis is netbook freeman a member of the coordinating committee for the black alliance for peace and that's always a pleasure having you on sir thank you it's always a pleasure to be so i want to start with just give people an idea of what are the major potential dangers found in using the u.s. military not just the national guard which is under control of state governors but the u.s. military army navy air force in operations domestically during a time of crisis. these are people who are pretty much training and to confront enemy combatants as you will and me sing. thinking that or being trained then just so you have the disposition of the people that they're fighting or confronting are less worthy of humanity or life and liberty and so
3:49 pm
when you put that on the street and i'm again we have to remember that in the united states col who for to was colonized people black and brown working class people already know who under a police state situation so that the danger in what you ask for what you describe is that there will be combining the mentality that is fostered in military training to fight so called the terrorists in whatever unit before used to be communist and people who are not as worthy combine that with the sort of inherent. racists attitudes in classes attitudes of the us police force that is a barrier scotto. has there been any past examples where the us military was used domestically in a time of crisis and is there as its historical precedence for that kind of deployment. there's been a few and yes. we can look at it it's
3:50 pm
a few katrina hurricane katrina when it happened there was a number of people who were scrambling for survival and having to scramble and get whatever they could and the military was sent in there and then people some people may not remember how old people are but we used to see in the milk in the media. reports of people looting in ventilating when you really talked about a dire situation people really just trying to scramble for whatever they could to deliver survive and in that instance if they were really gruel and it came had to come out later brutal instances of people being extra just you kill brutalized by both police and military and in one instance it was a man who was shot in the back and then they proceed to kick him several times and . then another other instances are done the right making incident there were people who. you know of the the east pressure cooker was all faster the beating of rodney
3:51 pm
king and a lot of the verdicts were really on people felt they didn't like the verdict so it was that they were rebellions we call it rebellion instead of rice because people rebelling over centuries of police brutality not an incident but in that instance they also brought the national guard in there or there were fatalities in terms of those exchanges and then during the same the rebellion joined dr king when dr king was assassinated the same thing happened and there were also fatalities due to you know the police in the in the military mixed and the and we you know black and brown people get the worst end of those. that mix it's scary because you see the idea being floated kind of common allies do you know in the in the language of the media i mean with more than a good healthy percent of new york city police department officers recently reported illness or self. in the good numbers like over 15 and even higher police absentee rates elsewhere an opinion piece in the washington post pontificated about
3:52 pm
how active u.s. military members could potentially fill the role those roles of the police writing quote they might need to backstop and back bill police forces and hard hit communities might soon need major assistance with patrolling the restraint streets and restrictions on movement deterring crime and other tasks you know this is this is pretty unbelievable language do you believe that this could actually be a realistic possibility given the current state of the country today is this something that we could see. oh i think there's no one to talking about it and i think the washington post piece you were talking about was coauthored by 3 people and they were caught they were it was then of they make themselves the police department i think it was a new york city police and they were all from they are all now our people are consistent you people the u.s. army was a couple represents in the u.s. army is about 3 ethics 3 people who are officers in that in that. article and
3:53 pm
what they're anticipating and i think there's also historical precedent and that and moved we remember that the. there he billions after the in the 1960 s. f. the dr king they did of the report they do write reports every now and then the. people to try to figure out the root causes and how to deal with riots or maybe avoid them and there was a current called the current commission report $168.00 and so one of the things that the report showed and it was pretty i think certainly done a report was the type of civil unrest that we can see the type of dissatisfaction with basic things that we now know are going to be. are going to be. costs scarce we're going to look at over $30.00 supercenter the top they're predicting a 32 percent unemployment rate the biggest ever seen since since the bridge great depression there's scarcity of food because of the the supply chains of food are
3:54 pm
being disrupted because of because of the cold in 1000 in the social distancing same people being out of work the system the capitalist system and we have to attribute it to that is not designed because we don't see that the same outcome where the same situation in other places is not designed to handle the type of or not designed to create the type of cooperation that is needed even on that on the domestic level where other countries people are the people are involved in organizing process to know how to respond. to certain sayings and even to be able to manage things on in a way that don't make things scarce that they are allowed to go to the supermarket maybe more distance regulated fashion the key things of all and so here. the powers that be are steaming astray to the status quo where people are seeing the in the inefficiencies or they're not into the capitalism and they don't want that threat to become even more formidable so they not instead of feeding people instead
3:55 pm
of housing people and things that we're seeing happening it's response to this but it's not for us that they're doing it they're doing it for themselves but that can't last because that goes against capitalism so their response would be to send in the military and the police to try to quell dissent while basically meant for we've got good folks like you out there keeping an eye on this and educating people on the on the barriers of a kind of thought thank you so much for always coming on up to freeman always a pleasure sir. thank you. when i was growing up my nana always gave me dinner with this side of carrots the believe was as you get older you're going to need them because your eyesight goes with 8 and she might have been on to something age related macular degeneration of 11000000 people in the u.s. and up to 196000000 worldwide sadly aside from changing vision prescriptions and surgeries with little long term improvement possibilities not much can be done to save your eyesight until now in
