back in russia those children's families willing to search for. modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any president says abraham lincoln has but loves motto protests could no shit coming up a look at how politicians are using the rest of this year's election. law this weekend chancellor merkel says russia's nordstrom to gas pipeline to germany was go ahead despite tensions over the ledge poisoning of problem and opposition figure. out the survey of british media finds that muslims get this proportionate coverage in terrorism stories despite other groups more likely to commit attacks let's say full run that for me kevin owing to now is time q how the weekend's going good.

this virus has killed over 180000 americans lately it's not unusual for more than a 1000 a day and now as school bells ring should they let's ask dr tanya dempsey a board certified internist founder of the ame center for personalized medicine and a mother of 3 docs since we had you on just 3 weeks ago some school systems have opened and some which did have already closed again somewhere and even trying they're opting for distance learning which nobody really likes do we know enough about this novel coronavirus to be sending young kids and aging school team.

back to school. but i think the answer has to be no i understand that the issues that we're concerned about as far as children's learning children social development in there are lots of issues here that schools have to consider but the problem is we are still learning about this virus it's only been a number of months right and we are learning every day about how this virus acts now we have reports now of the possibility of reinfection here we are thinking that we need to be having the virus protects us for a period of time now we're not even sure about that and so we're sending people into the classroom who we have a high risk teachers who are concerned about their own health we have kids going home some of these kids went with immunocompromised parents or grandparents or others and we do not even know what is going to happen to the children we are just learning about the impacts of coded 19 on children and there may be long term

consequences for them even well in a in a statement titled the importance of reopening america's schools this fall the centers for disease control and prevention states the best available evidence indicates of children become infected they are far less likely to suffer severe symptoms death rates among school age children are much lower than among adults and the president has called the children and these are his words almost immune doctor school systems were shutting down as early as late february and admittedly this is my layman's sermonize but i want to try it out anya is it possible that we are mis reading how susceptible kids are because we took them out of harm's way by closing schools so soon. now even bring up an excellent point and i think that's

that's absolutely a possibility how do we know we haven't had the kids in an environment where they are in together with the possibility of germs passing between them we haven't seen that yet so we don't know that we also don't know about we haven't been testing adequately don't have as we don't have reliable testing we don't really know what's what the possibility is going to bring here on with these children so i think you bring up a good point we are we are essentially going to be running an experiment on our children sending them back into the classroom. that's a scary thought but experiments probably the right word here in rhode island they were hoping for a statewide reopening august 31 that got pushed back to september 14 with fingers crossed and as our governor and commissioner of public health and education are divided we're in data and reckoning reconfiguring schools and bus routes and

everything else that goes into plan a b. and c. the cities the states 2nd biggest city said count us out of the ward school committee voted last night to approach which. one of the concerns did you get it was here quality and then solution in these older school what are your thoughts on that taking action and in fact being one of the main reasons i couldn't be more disappointed in the vote that they took. they just threw in the town on those kids and i think the children of work deserve better they didn't even submit a plan. for impersonal. you us about your town they didn't even do the hard work required to give us a plan for him personally they threw in the towel before they even tried and we're hearing from parents who are saying this is unfair to my children and you know what they're right it isn't fair those kids deserve better and i am so disappointed in

that school committee it was wrong headed and it wasn't thoughtful and they can do better and i hope their rethink and i hope they do do better. dr whether cities like warwick are prudent or pushing the panic button remains to be seen but suppose we send kids back into the classroom and one child goes home with a fever talk about how the dominoes could topple vera after. and this is exactly what i've been saying i just imagine all the possibilities and yes of course as soon as a child is sick the schools can have to react they're going to have to essentially contact traits who is that children child with who or who was the teacher in the room or teachers and then you know everybody sent home either not classroom or and multiple classrooms maybe they can try to continue. leaving school or been thinking

that maybe that child wasn't in contact with with as many people that would be dangerous right and then in their home for a certain period of time and to be test how do we test how do we follow these kids how do we know when they can come back and what if somebody else gets sick while the others a quarantine is it because they were exposed to this original child or not right you can just imagine that it's going to be a lot of sending kids home bringing them back to school setting them home and so on and so forth and so in this town this is really stressful i mean we. we keep talking about i've heard the argument about the children needing the security of being in school they need that i get that i have children i know that but on the on the flip side i think about how stressful it is for the child or any child to sit there and think oh my goodness you know now i was exposed to somebody that's there's a big feeder and they're going to be sent home another going to feel different than the other kids their home everyone else is in school and how how is that going to

impact their mental health i don't see that as a answer to helping helping them in the long term i just don't see it. we were speaking with dr tanya dempsey and you wrote an opinion piece for the local newspaper there in the west chester area which i think needs to be understood everywhere tell us about the potential for what you have called irreversible lifelong damage to patients you have termed long haul or is explained that. we are starting to see definitely in the adult population there are hundreds if not thousands of people who are reporting symptoms months and months after the initial infection and they are not getting better now we are starting to see this again in children as well and these these patients starting are starting to resemble a class of patients that that i take care of it's a big part of my practice and that is any c.f.s. which is chronic fatigue syndrome. syndrome may be

a long term effect and what happens is they can have that can affect their nervous system they can affect different organs in their system and now there's there is hope because i treat patients like that and i and i think that there is a there's a lot that can be done but what about people who don't see someone like me who don't understand this and and now they're just living a long term with chronic fatigue and there are other potentially. it's evil and you know issues. no sooner does this drug see clora quinn quackery subside then the my pillow guy has the presidency or about oleander curing a coronavirus i hesitate to dignify this by discussing it but because so much news is no noise and because the doctor is in the house i must ask isn't a plan

a poison. yes well so i just in just so difficult to even acknowledge you know a statement like that i mean there's always going to be people coming out and saying that they have a cure this is a dangerous cure but just to be clear most plants are have talked i mean that's that's actually how they they work i mean we use those toxins as treatments in herbal medicine we don't think about it like that we think that what we're using is something good in the plant but it is a toxin to the point that protects them and so you know but too much of those toxins obviously a very dangerous and herbs can be very dangerous unless they're used by someone who's very experienced so i'm really concerned about people going out and trying to acquire the servant doing things on their own this is scary stuff. and you heard it straight from dr tanya dempsey thank you again for your time and please come again

. ever get a song stuck in your head this song has been stuck in my head for 40 years. you can't. help your community get government representation help sure funds are needed for jobs screws health care and cancer good night t.v. . your answer is again confidential. count on me. and for all the problems we thought we had in $1800.00 doesn't that look different than today's less united states of america from movie stars to mickey mouse

everyone in that diverse smiling crowd wanted to be counted but a year after the supreme court struck down president trump's attempt to add a citizenship question to the census form the survey deadline has been moved up a full month ending the count by september 30 and the census bureau already shorthanded with the pandemic has 100000 field workers in training senator jeanne shaheen ranking member on the permanent subcommittee has asked the congress department's inspector general to investigate and she writes i believe that this deviation in the schedule is driven not by expert open in humans of careers census bureau employees but by external pressure from the white house and the department of commerce for a perceived political gain and

a bipartisan group of 48 senators have called for an extension of the 2020 census to ensure an accurate count with all the other deadlines we have extended during the shutdown shorting the census makes no sense census workers are now going door to door to find the folks who haven't returned to form or done it on the phone or done it on line so regardless of your citizenship status do not fear that knock on the door because only an accurate count will make sure that uncle sam's put in our money where it should be and that you are represented fairly in congress so answer the census we're counting on you. coming up behold the new norm. all a lie you know will explain every thing this is the big picture on r t america. in

the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks to take the only population of tens of thousands are forced to flee their homes come up with strike and put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were murdered as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence of which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named into than

a gang i think it went to the very very top i think if the phones for all the water where all the patients you. give the go ahead. last.

when all this is over spoiler alert it won't be the new normal isn't yonder it's now but only until new rules emerge what to expect let's ask the author of everyone's crazy except you and me and i'm not so sure about you america's favorite contrarians cuts loose it's our team contributor and legal and media analyst lionel councilor legally speaking when there is a virus can employers require employees to come back to the workspace. fascinating question how and i'm going to give you the answer to every single legal question that has ever been asked and never will be asked you can while your

friends at cocktail parties with the answer to every legal question is it depends it depends upon the situation it depends upon supporting legislation that depends upon safety it depends upon can a a a an owner of a business or do you take a vaccine and the owner of the business or do you take a vaccine if it's contrary to your religion can you fire the person if they refuse to think about seeing because your insurance rates will go up and how do these rights and privileges emerge so we don't know anything yet and by the way this word new normal lose that it's not new it's not normal it's almost a met is static who is it this is transmogrifying into the is you're not going to recognize anything for the next 6 months. nor the last 6 you're right the new

normal is neither but what if there is no office to come back to and i'm not talking about lost jobs or all this telecommuting has many employees saying let me stay home and it has many employers rethinking x. dollars per square foot to maintain that mad men in your office space like many i have been sticking close to home for months now and admittedly i lucked out i live at the beach here in coastal know and and new york city people are here and the real tourists they're calling on saying that one of the big factors that they're asking about is internet speed they need broadband at the beach these people aren't looking for a 2nd home they're looking up. bugout another new yorker we had on recently i asked her for adjectives to describe life in the city and she said when the

shutdown 1st happened she saw the beauty of new york and then more recently i said gimme a and update on the adjectives and she said proud that there is a new york proud out there what adjectives would you use to describe the city you live in proud i don't know what part maybe you're talking to but syracuse new york city is a band then we have the worst mayor who is ever walked the planet it's empty get scared crime is through the roof. right now i could drive you on a wednesday in particular in midtown if the theater district which normally would be packed it's like a movie set aside to spawn ranch i'm expecting charlie and the girl to show up it's desolate this is horrible and this is a moonscape but let's talk about your question if we could you know. for

a long time there are many many worlds of innovation for example brick and mortar remember when virtual office space came along remember when people said i don't even need to actually go to. a starbucks i want to go to these little makeshift. workplaces we works in the like little by little there was this this iteration in these changes you say into 9 brick and mortar well that is already taken on its own particular velocity but this is going to accelerate it even more people are asking themselves can we redefine what it means to work and this piece i'm crazy but do we have to have you know the water cooler the break room things that are anecdotes. things that are that are part of our you know history they really have no bearing anymore you're going to see some people actually enjoy this in our world of talk radio and the like

the notion of the studio is gone do what we can to talk about radio so what we're seeing right now is yes this is this is changing everything let me also if i could you know in the old days how and from when you and you started during the coolidge administration so certainly a jump on me but there was this this this we were slaves to technology we member in the old days when you would do a hit and there would be a car that would pick you up and drive you to a midtown studio so that you could be made to appear for your hits on whatever because it had to be the best lighting you can be in your underwear in a basement and no joe biden jokes there but this is. in fact there's an all right to city to it so what happened is we're getting used to this didn't music studio was now going people have laptops so we're seeing is this

person this perfect convergence of what would have normally transpired anyway with the acceleration factor of 2 or whatever this pandemic that we're living in so it's it's for people like me and you it's fascinating to see how it is developing we are speaking with lionel a legal and media analyst and a stage at really regret missing and just never could make the schedule work to get to the city when you're doing those club dates a while back when there is a vaccine and do you expect enough early adopters to line up for the shot at c.v.s. that night clubs and broadway shows and ball parks and expensive restaurants we'll see enough traffic to make a business model work. ok 1st let's talk about the vaccine number one there are many many people like me who are very very wary very cherry very skeptical about

any new implementation of anything medicinal or medical or whatever it has been use i'm not anti vax or i'm not one of those people but saying that i question vaccines is like saying i question medicine what medicine is it strong enough visit effective enough has the efficacy in the safety been looked at you know it takes power and it takes decades sometimes 2 to work through the proper testing for a vaccine so that's number one number 2 there are any for people holland that will take anything they like and they're bargain sealed you're good you can talk about the most invasive test involving spaghetti tongs and this gal opinion and not be lining up at c.v.s. do i get to keep i'm on the other x. ray. more or munchausen's victims but so if you have those people let me also tell you that there are people holland smarter than you or i who are looking magine be

here of crowds from gustava bon to the a clock crecy 2 to mama behavior to people who study the way birds in memory of schools we're looking at how humans are are acting look at how people are some let me ask you this i know some people who are petrified terrified they never want to ever come out of their homes again this is more like new york here empty the goes down the day after anyway but there are plenty who are so slight in there are people like me who say enough even the 1918 pandemic and then one day my god grow up a parish dried up and and i'm not so we're having as this gusa people all of them are going to. the act accordingly. yeah i don't know that i want to line up day one i want to give it a few months to see if the 1st people begun just dead and up like those new things

and i am a legend you know and i'm not the only want to feels this way but not so far with everything i've said i've tried to avoid the cable news cliche of the questions outnumber the answers but based on everything you've just said do you predict that one year from today will look like one year ago or will look like today. i don't very simply want november the 3rd and all changes expiration dates are a match i don't want to use i know this is not it i know this is not a political thing and i know how and one of the things that has made you who you are is being able to divorce yourself enough centers off from anything that is contaminated by the stench in the said rank of politics. i will tell you this much like you that here here here is a question that i have to ask you if this were a different political landscape let's say joe biden where the president versus donald trump i promise you you would be seeing leet lead different ways

of handling this you will see how people. how people handle risk let me ask you this question isn't it funny how some people it is so amazing to me who will avoid is true and completely ignoring every health fact there is every year there were 650000 people who died who coronary artery disease is diseases that could be prevented by diet there was 25000 or more people who die from flu there was over 660-0000 from cancer yet people smoke and eat and they laugh because in their own particular mind based upon this particular climate how they process fear how they processed the threat of pathogens is an individual thing it's so unique that's another. factor so all of these things where you get and also where are you what part of the country are if if your hand while people like you

people who basically turn their back on society 11 in iowa nobody can pronounce that's one thing but if you're an austin texas or in minneapolis it's a different mindset so all of these factors weigh into this making therefore any kind of prediction impossible but nonetheless you're taining yeah and this is why i try to avoid the political loop life's become a big rorschach test if trump was still a democrat and was staging this thing on the white house lawn the republicans would be screaming bloody murder to legal and media analyst lionel thank you all as always for stepping precariously into the big picture. thank you and thank you for watching the big picture we're going to be back same time next week and if that's not convenient for you set the d.v.r. we're direct t.v. channel 321 we are dish 280 if you have cut the cord you can watch us 3 pluto t.v. channel 279 and of course r

stories of men who can't imagine life without fashion without a sense of style without things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit to live as they choose. out of all of them so let's have a group of us of us get. points for. her up.
