6:01 pm
greetings and salyut asian all right let's start this party off with a bang with one of the most important news stories currently taking place in these united states of america i'm talking of course about the trumpet administration's deployment of armed fatigue clad teams of identified federal agents to major u.s. cities like portland and chicago under the guise of protecting federal property these agents have snatched us citizens off the streets in the dead of night never used blunt force trauma chemical weapons upon mothers fathers and military veterans for simply exercising their right of freedom of speech and assembly and tragically it appears that the checks and balances that normally prevent one branch of the u.s. government from taking actions like these do not see. seem to be working at all on
6:02 pm
friday u.s. district judge michael mosley mn should strike down or going to turn in general allen rosenblum request for a temporary restraining order against the federal forces operating in her capital city according to judge mose when the state failed to show that it even has the standing to bring the case forward ruling that the suit involves allegations of harm done to protesters by law enforcement but no protester is a plaintiff here and it is not seeking redress for any harm that has been done to protesters instead it seeks an injunction against future conduct which is also an extraordinary form of relief in other words my friends too bad state of oregon you don't get to protect your citizens from their government today but the twisting of legal leaders to justify criminality in the by a lation of rights is not new to the american experience just ask all those poor
6:03 pm
souls who suffered torture sorry enhanced interrogation in guantanamo bay in those cia black sites all around the world under the bush administration in fact the white house the trump white house has apparently dug up and dusted off mr torture memo himself the one and only john yoo the guardian reports that the trumpet ministration has been consulting the former government lawyer who wrote the legal justification for waterboarding on how the president might try to rule by decree. the deployment of secret federal agents to cities across this country is not quasi fascism or authoritarian like my friends no it is fascism and it is authoritarian and that is why we must always be watching. she was. on a city street. that is so you would see that as this joyce
6:04 pm
state. rice mass graves see this least systemic deception is to late show which. some don't. welcome the watching. i robot. boil boy image a lot has happened since we last did a live show and i think the biggest news story is this you know these these i guess of homeland security agents of the most bunch of other top partment of justice agents showing up in cities like portman now chicago seattle and essentially just operating without any regard for due process or any regard for our basic rights and privileges that we have in this country it sounds so un-american yet it is american as you could possibly get what we're seeing right now is a mass amount of federal intervention into something take warning for instance that the federal government have never really been
6:05 pm
a part up because i think we talked about this earlier graffiti on buildings is not something that the federal government actually comes in for we have a president who is watching his poll numbers take who is watching consistently what appears even in swing states where he had the upper hand just a few months ago because of his response to comit 19 that steadily dwindling and he has seen and noted that the law and order message actually works in america when you create somebody or something for people to fear they become this rally around the flag type of group. and i think that trump is taking advantage of that to the utmost in using these federal forces and making it seem like these cities are so chaotic so out of control that the only person in the only entity that can help save them and bring them back is the federal government is the top administration and what's ridiculous is we're seeing in the footage here i mean this is from portland what's ridiculous is is the protesters didn't care about the federal building until they put a fence around it until the fed showed up and started tear gassing people until the feds show up and snatching folks off the streets in the middle of the night for you
6:06 pm
know for basically doing their you know for protesting doing their 1st i'm practicing their 1st amendment right it's also interesting the mode that the department of homeland security is in its own bit of hot water because look according to experts chad wolf the acting acting secretary of homeland security he's never been confirmed by the senate or congress and he is actually in violation of the federal budget concedes reform act the act clearly states that an acting official can only serve for 210 days he's now held that seat for 200 close to 250 maybe over 250 days he does need i mean can he even be legally his decision making has to be now a question because he can't even legally make a decision according to the law he should be out because the child administration has created so many laws and acts like they don't exist because he has 85 percent a point p. not on appointing rate when it comes to all of the people who are acting in this administration this one is a breaking news story just because of the acts of homeland security right now but
6:07 pm
we're going to see you know in the coming days should he extend this should he turn it into something that's more permanent i highly doubt it because the president has touted time and time again he loves his acting people but on that same token it's very hard for him in some cases to get certain people approved because not only that they come through or not necessarily have the experience they needed but also have some very interesting side note conversations be it whether they are all to racists be aware that they're anti-semitic there are a lot of things that have you know where his swill be appointees would have been extremely problematic and when you see. images like this you know to me this is and . this is a direct result of troops federal agents you know we're not wearing seat you know without insignias grabbing that this is a direct result where that you know and so you're ramping that up and it's good it was it was amazing to see people kind of step up when you saw people out with tennis rackets batting you know tear gas back at them you saw people coming in and claimed you know in the protests with with leaf blowers blowing you know gas bags
6:08 pm
you know it's amazing seeing the response to this kind of thing but at the end of the bay this isn't this isn't cities like i think you pointed out really these are cities that are out of control because they're already out of control these are cities becoming out of control because of the presence of the feds when you come in and you are being as a lawless as you possibly can you're not you know abiding by human rights you're not abiding by these people's civil rights they're not getting due process you are treating them however you feel and then they're disappearing these are individuals who are many times getting locked up they're not being able to call family friends they're not being able to even call their attorneys so we're watching something happen right now that honestly people who are in the protest to begin with this is what they were protesting the whole thing about police brutality and the failures of our criminal justice system from beginning to end in all things in between then you see the federal government come in and basically do all of those things at once and where is my libertarian brothers and sisters where as all those folks who said oh we don't want to press a government we in the 2nd amendment folks who say well we've got to stand up to
6:09 pm
a present government this is exactly what oppressive government is you cannot change that you cannot deny that this is what it's not it's not like authoritarianism as i said this is authoritarianism you can't it can't be any more clearer than this and what you're seeing in these images right now across workers across the country. code 19 cases are on the rise businesses are shutting down again schools parents and elected leaders are wrangling with the health risk associated with in class instruction and sending kids back to school yet many americans still seem to be ignoring some of the most basic coronavirus precautions like wearing a mask and social distancing. granted us president donald trump went around for months refusing to wear face mask as he visits factories who state campaign events attended roundtables and supported his favorite republican state leaders he even shouted out his support for armed men and women protesting against mass mandates and social distancing but my helmet tables have turned and by tables i mean trucks
6:10 pm
reelection poll numbers his approval rating is taking a nosedive and in head to head match ups in swing states trump is trailing his democratic rival were vice president joe biden as of late trump has started to wear the mask for public facing the vents but photos and videos emerged of him at private fundraisers without a facebook and it looks like many americans are doing the very same thing despite there being massive mandates to enter stores restaurants and bars and several states people are defiant and hefty fines like washington d.c. is $1000.00 for not wearing a mask are popping up across the country some states and localities even tried to take a much harsher route like indiana where governor eric holcomb wanted to make wearing a mask a class b. misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail 6 months so much more renewed commitment to criminal justice reform lucky for indiana residents members of their
6:11 pm
own party publicly questioned in criticize the compliance ation of not wearing a mask as excessive punishment republican sheriffs even refused to enforce the mandate and with mounting pressure from fellow republicans hopeful won't back his push for jail time where's the wearing a mask is an important covert 1000 preventive measure do these types of mandates and fines go too far. it's hard to say i think maybe right now but i mean down the line i hate to say there's with down the line if things really keep spiraling out of control when it comes to covert then you have to look at that however criminalizing mask wearing is not it's one thing for you know a city or state to say you. we need you to wear this it's criminalizing it's a whole other thing because as you and i both know i'm sure they won't be out there busting folks in georgetown or in manhattan for not wearing their mass properly they're going to go into poor communities and they're going to go into communities that can't afford to pay excessive fines or communities are already been thrown in jail numerous time for idiotic your crimes that's where they're going to go and
6:12 pm
you're absolutely correct and this is the exact same thing that happened with social distancing mandates before but before the reopening because in places like chicago new york even d.c. what we saw was a lot of patrolling going on in african-american and latino communities meanwhile if you go to the wider sides of town those neighborhoods were also throwing parties they were also not social distancing they were not wearing masks and there was no penalty for them so what we see consistently is that those fines and fees that jail time it happens for minorities it's not something that's equally applied across the board no no and it's mere reminds me a lie that's the biggest fear with this kind of thing is the i don't think we should criminalize not wearing masks depending on what the situation maybe is if it's like look like if you go in there without the mask on puts many many lives in danger maybe there's an argument to be made for criminalization of not wearing it in a specific instance maybe there's an argument i don't know but yeah to me this feels a lot like you know the enforcement would be like stop and frisk in new york you
6:13 pm
know nobody's stopping for a 2nd to find people carrying drugs or paraphernalia on wall street or what they're doing down in harlem and. it's just absolutely you know do you believe should jail time be used as a turn for about wearing a mask is that excessive absolutely not jail time should not be used and i would argue that jail time shouldn't be used as a deterrent or anything really what we're seeing in this country is this idea and we've seen it more now going on for decades where the strategy has been in order to funnel money to counties money funnel money to local government let's just lock people up because they look at it as a sense of this keeps a certain industry. employee and it's pressure rating because it does not do anything we know that it doesn't deter behavior it never has and it's not something that only works besides that there is something else to be said about there being a social strategy to getting people to wear masks we've talked about for years there being a a me generation well we're seeing a whole me country we are the only nation on the globe that seems to not understand
6:14 pm
or not care about why wearing face masks is important because we're very you know individualistic that you i think you hit the nail on the head with what that's but what's been one of the biggest problems that we had that american exceptionalism thing so codify in our brain that everything that we do is right nothing we do is wrong and we deserve the you know we deserve this the now this is what happens when you kind of raise a generation of generation now i think the younger generations jonesy more that i think a lot of them are getting it they've lived through enough and you know 911 financial crashes everything else to say let's just be safe but it's convincing the older generations we're not going to go with a president who only now wears a mask because it's politically convenient absolutely when you have the head of your nation deciding that this is all a hoax that he doesn't have to do this that c.d.c. guidelines throw them all to the wind i'm going to do whatever i want you can expect the nation not to follow suit he is someone who has to take responsibility
6:15 pm
for basically being the example for the nation and he's just kind of fallen short of that i couldn't agree more and a lot of other leaders are falling short of that i mean look we need to we need to wear a mask at the end of the day where the mask be safe you know we're both tested we both know we're clean but when you're out there be safe wear the mask it doesn't hurt anybody it doesn't you know wearing a mask to a supermarket and back doesn't hurt you it prevents people from getting sick and i just wish people would put all their lives outside of their own ahead of themselves . looks like we may be waiting for that for a very long time tragically all right as we go to a pretty good member that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on all platforms you cannot avoid it you definitely need to download it coming up author and educator watkins joins us to discuss a.o. c's clapp backward and sexism in the language of abuse in congress and then ringing the bell on the reopening of u.s. schools under cobra stay tuned to watch.
6:16 pm
you cannot be both with the yeah you want. the end of a love story well tensions in the u.s. german relationship determine the fate of nato and if elected will joe biden be
6:17 pm
america's version of the soviet ruler plenty of fresh air. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallowness. toxics
6:18 pm
net toxic masculinity is something women are faced with every single day and if you're a woman of color the barrage of hate attacks and abuse rarely even raises eyebrows among onlookers or those entrusted to protecting america got a front row seat to this level of unmitigated male rage when congresswoman alexandria kazuo cortez was accosted on the steps of the u.s. capitol her colleague republican congressman ted yoho of florida called her crazy out of her mind dangerous and after following her a few more steps shouted the
6:19 pm
b word if you're wondering what that is i can't say it on t.v. . after you know who gave a half hearted non apology declaring his wife and daughters reasons why he couldn't be violent or aggressive towards women i'll see gave the women's empowerment speech for the ages laying bare why men like yoho are dangerous how prevalent toxic methodology is in our society and what women particularly women of color are faced with even when they sit in seats of power ale see not only schooled yoho in her speech but every man who has ever attempted to diminish or devalue women and while we're on the topic of schooling it seems like public education in the area of code it is getting a bit more complicated some school districts are opting to remain virtual for the next few months others are offering back to school continued supplants with differing hours and class sizes. and still others are doing a hybrid model where depending on what grade your child is in he or she were seen
6:20 pm
in class instruction where other kids typically water kids would not that it shows most kids don't become seriously ill as adults from covert 19 but the bird to still out on whether or not they are super spreaders of the virus a large study in south korea found that children under the age of 10 don't appear to transmit the virus well that study is being echoed by america's brigham and women's hospital in boston joining us now to discuss these hot topics is steve watkins editor at large for salon dot com welcome to. how you guys doing we're always good to thank you for joining us. will be toxic masculinity is a term that most men seem to get a little skittish about but honestly we see case after case similar to represent a deal has a tax on ale seen men accosting women is as a daily occurrence as the sun rising and setting what can we do to decrease these instances of male aggression and why do you think they're so prevalent. so for one
6:21 pm
i think. maybe just cause of the men i know like even before your home state that terrible policy because he wasn't sorry about what he said sorry that he got caught he was sorry that other people you know want to talk about it it didn't become news did he probably know what gate this sorry. i don't even to call it a policy because it was ridiculous if you just sitting here said well over broader otherwise so are can't be this way ever you just clearly this way is harm so i think maybe the car other men know it just be you don't see who threw a beautiful response so i have to but it should be a moment should be every man in congress every every politician every pundit. and all of the people who have the power to tell of this about this issue should be calling him out calling other people who do the same thing because it's not just up
6:22 pm
the women it's up to all of us to fight these battles and that comes from a man who has a wife and has a baby daughter so i'm going to trust your word on that the. school leaders parents and elected officials are trying desperately to figure out how to reopen schools safely new research is emerging showing that younger children might not be as susceptible to cope with 19 or spread as much as older kids do you think this is an up for parents to feel safer for kids to feel safe going back to school potentially this fall. absolutely not because even though this research stating it children may not spread the virus as much as adults you need it. to schools so the adults are going to be there and maybe even passing that virus on the children who could potentially pass it on to their parents as a person who you know education education needs everything to be a professor so that was
6:23 pm
a teacher that you know let everybody know how i feel about school and how we need it but right now this is a terrible time in america this need to own cause we need to just figure out how to play catch up next year because it's just it's just now. the numbers are going to call it even more this is going to be a bad decision we're going to we're going to regret it. i think about some very powerful especially coming from someone who has worked in schools so i'm going to follow up a little bit on what you just said do you think schools can feasibly follow the c.d.c. recommendations we all know what they are social distancing that requires you to decrease class size that requires them to change you know the regular go to cafeteria time decrease the amount of students who are in the hallways passing for any classes also use regular people in class cleanliness and things like that and other tactics to. the spread of coal bit are a quit even attempt this in a matter of only a few days since a lot of this country's schools what start would return all of us. that's that's an
6:24 pm
amazing question i've been to over 350 schools in the past 5 years and schools with money can probably pull it off but the book the schools i want to camp how are you going to have social distance classes so when i feel like the schools were failing before we had went there when school was the head for the students in a class before cold that were at that light up into so the school i went to i went outspokenness to a bottle city and i wanted to the bathroom and you get was a hole in the wall where students was using a bathroom in a wall where saw. so it's like they have a big dog that was supposed to be don't you for cove it now this supposed to have all these months of this money these resources to create these spaces where people will say this is a joke is this only going to be a problem like this is going to be this is going to go down there's already. a bit at the forefront of some of that because disasters since he became president that
6:25 pm
this is going to be the icing on the cake this is this might be the one that could tarnish whatever is left of his legacy ever you know i couldn't agree there more because i mean to me the big that's what everyone misses when you see these articles in usa today or time magazine or all these other talking about kids going back to school you can see that slant they're only talking about kids whose parents got a little money or kids whose ghouls are really well because they have a high income bracket and they sit in that tax bracket they're not talking about the school many other schools across the nation that don't have the money to do this look distance learning has proven to be a failure for many students particularly those with special needs younger younger children and those with disabilities how can schools keep these students safe when it's paramount that they be in the classroom like how do we balance that and bring it back home. we need to pause we need to just stop like we need to. stop trying to open it so i look at the bugs were already trying to hold a number of restaurants and just let the numbers went up so many restaurants have
6:26 pm
people exposed to the virus all closed to get we need to stop people need to. be to source distance they need to follow the rules leaders who are promoted these rules you guys it's under earlier about jailing people from out with the best don't care the people who jailed the leaders who are make it is serious money so they mask available to everybody if we follow the rules and i'm not even an expert in science but i know enough about viruses that know that they would not be transferred to different people he does not follow the rules 23 maybe 4 bugs at most as they can be done if people follow the rules but they are trying to open it and it's an american we can do anything and in as a result people are getting sick and people are down and got to say thank you so much and i got agree with you so much let's stop jaylen the people and start jaylen the leaders who have failed the people i think that's a great way to finish off our show today thank you so much the walk ins editor at
