2:01 pm
discuss alright it's time to move to a new i q. overnight some 600 pages of court filings pertaining to jeffrey epstein and golan maxwell were unsealed from the 2014 allegations lodged by epstein's most vocal accuser virginia jew frey now this sparked a battle of big name attorneys david boies and alan dershowitz dershowitz himself one of those accused by a jew frey of sexually abusing her bill clinton's name also surfaced along with his former v.p. al gore so for more on all of this we'll go to attorney and media analyst line a line on media now line to what exactly does this mean in the way of depositions and the documents released what does this all mean. so you put it this way what if
2:02 pm
instead of these accusations it was murder what if instead of you hearing about how the version you free was here with this one or that one or dershowitz or clinton or whatever let's say that was murder what if we say wait a minute what are we talking about releasing depositions where are the murder prosecutions where is law enforcement that's the issue we know all about this how many times do you have to hear andrew cliff. dershowitz we know this the question everybody should be asking him to question is why warrants there and why are there no prosecutions because these were on your age women this is titillating and they're scandalous and scabrous in cuba sins and all of that but the question is this is a coup why they're making it sound like these are excerpts from a new to. tell all book yeah absolutely that is
2:03 pm
a good point you're right there are no prosecutions but out to vatican lytle there are suggestions that go and maxwell will not be able to have a fair trial with being published any of all these documents and victims coming out and speaking to the press what do you make of that this is called a hail mary let me tell you something this argument is dead they've been trying this forever with the whole think about this with all of the negative publicity this upstanding member of the community would not be able to have a jury of her peers seated. well tell you what they do mafia trials they do cases involving the most sensitive the most salacious the most horrible facts ever that argument when i would merced the surf yeah this is a local newspaper where everybody read this story so but it but that is one of the
2:04 pm
it's kind of like a hail mary that's what they're alleging and 8 as we say in the south that dog don't hunt now now lionel these documents started a real big fight between some big attorneys there in new york isn't the real issue between those 2 lawyers dershowitz and boyce. absolutely if anything this provides the discovery basis for these incredible libel suits because you've got dershowitz are you afraid you've got a view for a against dershowitz and now alan boy. a david boies against dershowitz 2 is the biggest heaviest hitting litigation folks there are against each other that's going to be the case to watch trust me i'm sure we will theer a lot more from those 2 but what about in the way of going maxwells case and possibly a quick resolution what might that look like. her case is tawdry little boy
2:05 pm
she's charged with i'm telling you i've asked everybody i know some a lawyer have you ever heard of anybody in federal court being indicted for lying on a deposition in a civil matter they know nobody's ever heard of this was the kitchen sink they could have loaded her up she could have never seen the light of day she would have joined as we say the century club hundreds of years if you are going to want 2530 you know in this minor stuff so what i predict is it will be a quick disposition should plead to somebody thing if we don't forget about her all the way by the way and we ask you a question do you even think she's here you think she's in this country you really think she's in brooklyn i don't know anything i know that there's never any or never seen any photos any video no perp walk no nothing no not even her mug shot right now on that note that click on that note could go lay in maxwell be in
2:06 pm
any sort of danger i know a lot of viewers are probably wondering. are you saying are you asking the question could she possibly be abstained. in my humble opinion i think there was no safer person no but even the dark forces that are wherever they are. would dare to have a double header party i just broke something double had her what would you do see anybody do you think they would dare after epstein but here here's the thing we don't need her for anything what he she will be abstaining yes and skinner was the the the lynchpin to everything but what is she she's got some pictures for jane as your friend that's the woman i would really she's i mean i hope she has 247 well armed guards because she's the one who can say this person was with me or other women but but if you think about a lover it would be ok we only know about her so i don't think she's as critical as people say but i would definitely not buy the green bananas if you know what i mean

2:08 pm
light fires or throw projectiles it's time to move forward and make transformative changes now in the recent weeks the trumpet ministration deployed federal officers with the department of homeland security to take charge of protecting the federal courthouse that had been targeted there however oregon governor kate brown says she in trouble finally reached an agreement that the oregon state police will take it from here and the feds can start to fade out listen here. their presence here substantially increased the violence and the tension and the us in our streets so their political strategy has obviously backfired and that's why they have agreed to withdraw their presence from the streets of downtown portland now despite the protests dying down in portland and other cities they're starting to ramp up again especially with these warm summer temperatures but also ramping up the spending spree of the u.s. customs and border protection agencies having when it comes to supplying police

2:10 pm
agents will work side by side with local and state investigators to solve crimes listen here. 10 of those federal investigators are already assigned to milwaukee temporarily to provide immediate assistance. the other investigators will be assigned permanently over the coming year to provide long term assistance now this weekend marks the very 1st weekend not only malaki will see federal enforcement and place but also cities of detroit cleveland and chicago to watch attorney general bill barr he ordered another $100.00 agents to chicago yesterday on top of the ones that were already planning to be deployed there reporting in the newsroom fair and fronsac. and meantime derren wilson the former ferguson police officer who fatally shot michael brown will not be charged that's according to the st louis county prosecutor who said he could not beyond a reasonable doubt prove he committed murder or manslaughter thursday's decision

2:14 pm
administration still doesn't advise stay at home orders anywhere and president trump stands firm against another lock down a permanent judge down would no longer be the answer at all small shutdowns can be very helpful but not for long periods of time we understand what we're dealing with but it's a very complex situation yet after analyzing the same data harvard researchers say that the task force recommendations are too weak to slow the spread of the virus and say that if it were up to them they would immediately shut down 13 states while considering another $22.00 but as the corona virus outbreak in the u.s. moves into its 7th month doctors are still struggling to understand why the virus ravages some and spares others not just other physicians that are on hospital but other physicians around the u.s. and around the world trying to understand what they've learned so that we don't you know just reinvent the wheel over and over again and with so much uncertainty and

2:17 pm
tastes like raspberries on a spring day take so hot they'll burn your face off down in the videos more added by the hour did i mention 3 it's a yes 3 go go get it portable t.v. . i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me a part of the mainstream media empire and from that higher vantage to glimpse the big picture question more. i like it when the hosts ask a question for the guests and then actually listens to the guests answer and then react to that answer a fox dennis miller here i've got a new show. of
2:18 pm
my pap and tony a host of america's lawyer with white collar criminals policy high profits and sneer at the pain of those they ripped off and ruined so that's where i come in question for. you. and in the latest round of tit for tat between beijing and london china's ambassador to the u.k. issued a stern awards of warning saying this if you do not want to be our partner and our friend and you want to treat china as a hostile power you will pay the price this in reference to threatening to no longer recognise british passports held by hong kong citing it as a relic of colonialism meanwhile over in hong kong city leader kerry lamb made a stunning announcement herself. right both the announcement i have to make today
2:19 pm
is the most difficult decision i've had to make in the past 7 months the postponement of the legislative council general election that is held once every 4 years is a very tough decision to make but order to bring the pandemic under control i need to ensure public safety and health so the election will be held in an open and fair and impartial manner this decision is therefore essential. and joining us for analysis on this former u.k. m.p. george galloway so george 1st let's address ambassadors embassador lose words on this they were sharp he alluded to those passports being relics of colonialism what are your thoughts. well that was fighting talk and he's a long standing diploma 10 years he's been the boss of door and has never spoken like that before and that some measure of how angry china is the united kingdom joining in what is essentially
2:20 pm
a synthetic politicized and to china campaign coming out of washington britain is in 2nd place only to donald trump in hostile measures against china and clearly the chinese have decided this far and no farther and sword fighting talk if you're not keen to be our part or our friend if you want to treat us like a hostile enemy then you will pay the price on britain will pay a big price i think because as you know with the left the european union by the end of this year will be out of the old together on quite bad terms actually with the remaining $27.00 e.u. members so we were looking for new friends and new markets in the world and it doesn't look like china is going to be one of those markets are you guys are not off to a great start george for your new friendship circle and now if beijing did follow
2:21 pm
through with this threat on those passports how does that actually impact those who bear those documents and what might this do for boris johnson's offer for those 3000000 or so hong kong or. well it potentially nix's the whole thing because if you tried to get out of hong kong airport to fly to britain to become a citizen you would not be allowed to board the plane because you would be in possession of the passport which was not recognized by the authorities in hong kong of course if you escaped hong kong somehow and flew out but to london some other way and you would never be able to return to hong kong and given that those 3000000 people with these passports leaving presumably many family members behind that would be quite a high price to pay to live in the in the rainfall in blackpool or in the or
2:22 pm
in the northeast of england so it might actually snow called the whole thing but then the british might well have figured out and maybe they're off our was really just smoke and mirrors maybe they knew that this was a meaningless gesture ah well as up may go the chinese government very angry indeed well that that would be an interesting take and we find that out later that boris johnson knew that it was going to be an empty gesture but george effectively that would create some $3000000.00 refugees almost and then staying in hong kong kerry lamb issued her surprising decision to hold off on their elections for a whole year due to code and that came just hours after president trump floated the idea perhaps postponing the u.s. november elections as well do you think this was a wise move on her part. well the hong kong is the most densely
2:23 pm
populated place on the earth and i suppose electioneering wouldn't be the all that easy in the current circumstances you can do this you know well there is relative calm and consensus in our country in london the london mayor. the election was postponed for a year the scottish parliament elections postponed for a year with not much of a fuss about it but in a highly polarized place like hong kong or dare i say it like the united states of america then postponing elections has potentially very serious consequences for public although i think and real quickly george the e.u. which the u.k. is still a member of until 31st of december has issued its 1st ever sanctions related to cyber attacks or cyber warfare this is mostly aimed at russia china and north korea and the north korea one has ties to hollywood with the the now infamous sony studios hacked 2014 is this going to be the new norm.
2:24 pm
well you know cyber warfare is very destructive spreadable to me to nuclear warfare this is the anniversary almost all head off mega saki so people sending emails that they should or hacking other people's emails is a crime but no as great a crime i think is the future we may well be in a new era will the principle form of warfare is taking place over the ether through the internet these may just be the forced by the many on both sides by the way britain has itself a 7 day 7 brigade which is literally a brigade of cyber warriors you know everybody's got of george all right we'll leave it right there our friend george galloway thank you for that insight. right baseball fans celebrated the return of major league baseball after months of delay
2:25 pm
the sport made its debut on july 23rd to empty stadiums and a strict protocol guide due to the pandemic but as sports producer winching a ham tells us although safeguards didn't stop the sport from having its 1st major outbreak. it's been a little over a week since the world series champion washington nationals and new york yankees faced off in the start of the shortage of 2020 l.b. season yet less than 72 hours later the league faced questions if they were really ready to return to the field and how the feast its toughest test at the fledging season as the miami marlins became the 1st team to register a covert 1000 outbreak news came from the organization after the team finished up their 3 game series against the philadelphia phillies signs of trouble showed before the game on sunday as marlins scratched their starting pitcher but the team decided a group text to play on never really considered not playing from our standpoint we're taking risks every day. every day we're taking risks so let's call it the players all around the league and. travel all the time you know it started with
2:26 pm
this roach are you traveling you're in planes or in buses you're in different hotels the risk. more positive cases came up later in the week with a total of 1000 members from the 33 person marlins traveling squad infected with covert 19 more cases came back positive later in the week totaling almost 20 members and the alarming rate of positives worried many teams and players around the leak yet ellaby commissioner rob manfred tried to put those concerns to rest i think most of the owners realize that we built protocols anticipating that we would have positive tests at some point during the season that the protocols were built in order to allow us to continue to play through those positives and i think there was support for the notion that we believe that the protocols are adequate to keep our players say the maryland outbreak doesn't just influence its own schedule philadelphia's entire team originally had no positive results but after coach and
2:27 pm
home clubhouse after tested positive on july 30th the team postponed activities until further notice including their weekend series at the blue jays washing nationals announced tuesday they voted not to travel to miami for their weekend series at the marlins and the new york yankees had their series of the phillies cancelled instead traveling to baltimore to play the orioles hurts your game serious there are striking differences between m.b. and baseball leagues around the world in south korea the korean baseball organization is one of the 1st professional leagues to return to play behind closed doors regular season rules prohibit high fives masks must be worn and umpires have to wear gloves unlike major league baseball the k b o hasn't play is that if a team member tests positive for cocaine $1000.00 and any time during the season play will be suspended for a minimum of 3 weeks to do these restrictions than started filling the stadiums in the past week although attendance was limited to 10 percent and no concessions were allowed back in the us play will go on as planned teams will now. be required to travel with a compliance officer to make sure staff and players follow protocol in the road the league will also encourage players not to leave their hotels except for games and
2:28 pm

2:29 pm
