greetings and sell you to us since the murder of george floyd and beyond the taylor cries for police reform have rarely been heard this loud in the united states of america and while small victories of law enforcement reform have taken place on local levels in cities like minneapolis ferguson and seattle on a national and federal level the needle of reform it's barely move why because even today many leaders and citizens across the country still question whether we even need to reform the police at all often using that that tired old 'd oh it's just a few bad apples routine like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell the corporate job themselves who dusted off the bad apples excuse recently when discussing how city mayors need to really crack down on those protesters mcconnell observe that the police deserve our respect for doing
12:31 pm
a tough job that most of us would have wouldn't have the courage to take up but then he added that like in any organization you're going to have a few bad apples. yes bad apples. like the bad 6 apples in rochester new york who killed 4141 year old daniel prude a black man who died in police custody while suffering a mental health crisis days after video footage was released showing officers putting a hood on him and pinning him to the ground but what about all those bad apples in salt lake city utah who slate now reports shot a 13 year old autistic child several times after his mother called 911 to get this ask for a crisis invention team intervention team to take him to the hospital during a mental health episode who by the way that autistic boy linden cameron he's a white boy. i wonder if box knew c.n.n.
12:32 pm
all those loudmouths security state punk and so the apologists will dive into his juvenile record looking for police violence justifications with the same zeal and zest they had when they did it to trayvon martin's history michael brown brown's history of tamir rice's history and speaking of kids falling victim to overzealous policing and the criminal zation of black children look no further than the treatment of 12 year old isaiah elliott of colorado springs who according to reason dot com was suspended for 5 days and had police visit his home after a teacher briefly saw him move a neon green toy gun around on his couch during a virtual classroom session. when the security state meets the nanny state and our kids get trapped in the crosshairs it ain't because of a few bad apples my friends it means it's time we start watching the hawks. on
12:33 pm
a city street you want to. see this joyce state . great city this least systemic deception is the late show which. brings up. a world where for the watching the entire over there that would be amazing every every single day every single week it seems like 2020 has been nothing but made up of one more totally ludicrous violent police interaction with the public like one after another after another no you're absolutely right and you would think that the american press tracing the pressure of these families how we continue to watch these cases bubble up over time that there will be a media better all reaction and that we are not seen alike specifically pointing out that hey you know this was a young white kid that this happened to as well it's it's not you know when there are people on the right will continually fade this is race baiting and they see
12:34 pm
black people out in the streets protesting against it you hear donald trump say well you know white people get shot by the cops to 100 percent back to all but you're still not doing anything about it that's the kind of blows my mind it's like yes your black folks in america they definitely and native americans in america their percentage of them getting shot and killed or wounded or attacked while only by police is a much higher percentage but yes white people get attacked by police asian people get tired everyone's getting attacked by police on some level in this country that should cause a stall sit back and say hey maybe we need to rethink how we're doing things here yet because the common denominator is the policing system that's it. just to go through this. because you know there's also the case that. this boy who is in colorado. is doing the zoom classroom teaching and they see him move a fake toy gun that's clearly a fake toy got i mean it was neon green with the word zombie hunter printed on the
12:35 pm
side of it no one is mistaking that proposes of his own home that's a ridiculous case for them to call the cops without even telling the parents till after they called the cops but you're absolutely correct and they think that you know i mean we talked about this off the air earlier just around how not only the parents weren't call but it was very easy to understand that this goes outside of protocol in general if there is an assumption that someone has has a weapon and it clearly in this case you saw that it was bright green you get some people can even see the insignia on it it clearly was not anything that was violent a simple call to the parents to ask about it if you thought that you know it breaks that level of alarm would have simply helped out but you know suspending this child making sure that you know he spends time outside of the classroom which is already hard because they're doing virtual learning in general it's just really negligent and unnecessary because kids are going to have toys this is a child we have to remember that children are going to do age appropriate things a child having a nerf gun or a you know
12:36 pm
a. military way is not necessarily something that's outside the norm for a kid in his age group yeah i mean look danielle your mother agree she told fox 31 local food there that she was furious at the school's decision to notify her after the police or been called she declared for them to go as extreme as suspending him for 5 days sending the police out having the police threaten to press charges against him like a scared straight kind of thing i assume because they want to compare the virtual environment to the actual in school environment isn't the same thing yet as a kid you can't bring a toy gun in any kind of gun looking object in the school i mean we've heard the ridiculous things about the kid getting suspended for making a finger gun i had only understand it but this is in a child's home. this isn't the school but this is. samantha briggs the communication director fraud bill district whole district 3 where this all took place told journalists we follow all school board policies whether we are in personal learning or distance running we take the safety of all of our students and staff very seriously safety is always our number one priority. it's kind of
12:37 pm
ludicrous though at the end of the day we shouldn't allow the school to dictate what we can or can't do in our own homes do certain no you're absolutely correct and the thing that bothers me the most about this is that this young child got more whole more police reaction then what we saw a cow rittenhouse who was a 17 year old with an actual weapons could wander away killed 2 people and was able to you know drive back to his home state away that is a really really really good point never even thought about that connection that we . know that him the. best pretty incredible. september is national suicide prevention month this month is designated to raise awareness for an issue americans are all too sanguine about mental health between and sometimes ignorant comments to complete lack of support for those suffering
12:38 pm
from mental illness america is in a very tough spot a new study by the centers for disease control and prevention says 40 percent of american adults are struggling with mental health issues caused by the pandemic isolation financial stress and other destabilizing factors lead to an outgrowth and depression anxiety mood disorders fear foreclosures and a victualling many families on the edge people feel as though there is no really. and likely so more than 28000000 people and counting have applied for unemployment benefits millions lack health insurance because it was tied to the jobs they lost mental health centers and counselors are hard to come by this makes for a perfect storm but adults aren't the only ones affected the suicide rate among those between in just 10 to 24 jumped between 2007 and 27000 according to the c.d.c. the 56 per cent jump makes suicide the 2nd leading cause of death among young people
12:39 pm
in that age group and if we break this insisting down even further those aged $10.00 to $14.00 solve the suicide rate for people. this is a reality but sadly i know all too well my younger brother twan lost his life to suicide just 12 years old. but with suicide on the rise mental health care is still an afterthought for most americans and our elected leaders schools lack of support services necessary to include children suffering from depression anxiety and other disorders parents are falling under the weight of an uncertain economy not to mention the health risks and circled around just living while black in an american society that refuses to acknowledge your humanity this month and hopefully annually we will pledge to do more to support those suffering to advocate for mental health services and a health care system that equips all americans with access to tell sores and wrap around services we aren't there yet but with increased advocacy and awareness the
12:40 pm
tide can turn lives literally depend on it it's interesting because mental health care is actually one of the you're right it's one of the least talked about elements of our health care like it's where i mean obviously you don't in the pandemic get it you know everyone's kind of focused on viral and. mental health care is a big part of keeping us healthy of the end of the absolutely and sadly it's also something that hasn't ever really been taken. seriously in terms of our health insurance coverage even for those who are still working and how strong health insurance coverage for mental health services is very low most people might get one visit with a therapist but for the most part this is still a treatment that you have to go through and pay out of pocket so i think we also have a real issue when it comes to what health care systems view as health they don't really consider mental health the priority that it probably should be why is it so stigmatized with it's always kind of weird you know it's always kind of how to be
12:41 pm
it's been a stigmatized we all love shrinks we all love psychologists but there's still that element of you kind of a lunar or what's wrong with you if you're going to the doctor to get your head looked at you know to get your mental health check because people have a very narrow view of mental health and mental illness 7 is you know the old school if you have a mental illness then you go to the go to a living facility you go someplace where you're strapped to something like there are these these very interesting views of what it means there if you know the crazy uncle that they keep in a room somewhere you know not to bother him when he has episodes but america has never really dealt with the fact that there are people functionally who have mental illnesses and move disorders every day i talked about my brother because that was a very hard thing for me and when i think about young people like him who have passed away due to suicide in many cases it's because of other things that are brought on we know that in communities where poverty is strong you have kids and their parents who also are having an experiencing large loads of depression and anxiety people who relocate often are people who have housing instability people
12:42 pm
who have incarcerated parents there are so many risks associated with growing up in certain areas or having certain large scale events happen in your life at younger ages that make it very difficult for many kids to see a future and we just don't invest enough in counseling support and prevent a bit of them also reaction because it's also that it always felt like to me you're growing up in the mind is there was a big kind of another kind of spike continued suicide became kind of a hot button issue that it kind of drifted off to the background. but also i think one of the problems is we kind of just throw any depressant drugs at problems and don't actually look at the root cause as you mentioned those root causes you talk about environment things like the family situation all that stuff we've become a society which kind of like put the band-aid on it rather than actually get to the problem and we have and that's one of the secondary issues because what ends up happening is for those young people who may have been medicated and want your own those medications it's not like you ever get off and they call their own set of issues from you know you having eating disorder issue you know exacerbating new disorders and if you ever get off of that health insurance many of them will
12:43 pm
actually turn to street drugs to try to get that same type of you know mindset that they had when they were on the other prescription drugs. in this crisis when you look at the numbers it's frightening and when you have a lot you know the suicide rate among young people jumped 56 percent suicide attempts among black youth increased by 73 percent those are massive numbers that need to be looked at and we need to start studying the saying what can we do to bring those numbers down beyond just the medication aspect of it what are the other causes of this what do you believe them because especially in youth that we're seeing this kind of jane you're seeing growth and out growth and cyber bullying i mean i got bullied as a kid but i can imagine getting bullied in the era of social media that you know that cause a lot of kids to can it go more inward and have these issues in addition to kids who have gender dysmorphia and we're seeing a lot of young people have issues you know related to who they feel open that they can talk to they're getting beaten up on they're getting castigated about their sexuality and what we're seeing you know more and more cases of that but we're also seeing and i think that this exists
12:44 pm
a pretty coby it because actually the child suicide rates have been going up since 2007 it is also a lot of children are taking on adult responsibilities and america doesn't really recognize that their children who are helping raise siblings there are children who are helping to take care of their parents their children who are really having their lives of children their children who are faced with adult decisions very early in life that's a great point a really great point a great point to leave you with on this subject matter all right everybody as we go to break. you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v. which is available on all platforms coming up we discuss the impact of the black white matter on hollywood yes and we also discussed the tragic loss record job of both state to washington. everybody's gaslighting everybody cooperations are gaslighting new central banks
12:45 pm
are gas finding you understand the gas lighting is you know that it's not pleasant it's rude it's downright rude. and then with a post. from the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs. first offense. blues then they just stepped right. into the fray and we i mean. they have insisted this is for me.
12:46 pm
even if. i don't know maybe they don't make or. break. for now we're. now looking forward to taunt. that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given a human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st identification we should be very careful about official intelligence and the point of all these. great. things like theories as they do with artificial intelligence resummon the deep.
12:47 pm
must protect its own existence and existence. with. the very mechanisms of plasticity that enable stress to get under the skin and. any negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms can be harnessed for the good so the resilience to remove flourishing. since the killing of george ward are really going all the way back to the murder of trayvon martin calls for equality in criminal justice reform in the united states of america haven't been this loud and proud since the civil rights movement in the
12:48 pm
1960 years and more we've seen the influence of black lives matter on our streets in our politics and during our favorite sporting events many are now looking at how the industry behind america's greatest export entertainment is going to handle and embrace this generation's calls for social justice and equality i'm talking of course about hollywood darrell miller and see the end of a c.p. president derrick johnson recently noted in a variety of tauriel that. studios networks and other entertainment companies have rushed to make the usual symbolic gestures of support for the black community but they go on to observe that hollywood must and can do more we cannot continue to operate on autopilot when considering who is portrayed in our productions how their approach reagan who makes those decisions so with the industry still in mourning following the tragic loss of chad to bozeman one of the best actors and performers of his generation is the business of show finally ready to truly embrace the fight for racial justice and institutional change i'll ask you that i mean you know from
12:49 pm
looking at hollywood from the outside in. are they really making changes for the better or is it still kind of window dressing will you know put on like certain little pageants will put on certain little things but really at the core of the industry. i say i would go with a lottery that hollywood is checking off boxes what we're seeing is not high level systemic change but there have been some promotions where it is you know the streaming services like netflix and others will showcase different elements of african-american history and african-american life you know push certain producers out who probably wouldn't have gotten attention otherwise and i think that that's still a step forward but in terms of a large scale change we're seeing the same opportunities for african-american actors actresses producers writers as we see for others i don't think that that's there we still see the micro aggressions we hear the stories from actors and actresses you know things that have been said about them or things have been said to them during the course of filming during the course of you know some of the some
12:50 pm
of the writing and how certain things that are prominent within the ethnic group have been taken out because you know white sanitization happen so i definitely think that there's a lot of change that we still need to see you know i mean you got a member of the hollywood at the end of the it was still an industry that you know a lot of racism early on in the industry i mean this is you know this is still a company you know this is still an industry that at one point put out birth of a nation yes it's a long time ago but that wasn't exactly the most racially friendly movie ever made and you know i think a lot of times they do that kind of rest on the p.r. machine but when you get into the executive level you know you might see more artists right now and they're definitely doing a good job i think in terms of like trying to be more inclusive of different artists of all you know walks of life and backgrounds and cultures and skin tone but it's when you get into the executive culture in hollywood that's where you kind of see the marrow down to where there's very you don't see a lot of black executives in hollywood and that's i think where you need to see that change and i think that's across the board for most institutions in this
12:51 pm
country and no i would agree with you and i think that that is 100 percent hit the nail on the head that's why african to me. ricans are across the country were so with static when tyler perry opened his studio that he decided to do it in atlanta you know the black mecca of entertainment that he decided to choose actors and actresses and writers who were people who hollywood basically ignored for time and time again and i think that we have to see more of that type of leadership because honestly black people in entertainment at this point many have reached the ideology that hollywood's not going to do it for them so they're going to have to reach back and work with people who look like them people who are developing this new type of art form people who are doing it in many cases outside of the hollywood scope just because it has been such a long road to hoe hollywood is one of the 1st industries in this world that will definitely make money off of black culture and black art but will it inject money back into the black community that's that's where the kind of always that you see the music all the time too it's like we love making profits off the artists but we got to give something back to the artists in their family who've know that makes us
12:52 pm
uncomfortable no with coke we are we gave them an award. hopefully that changes. after a week of nightly protests in rochester new york the city's chief of police has now stepped down the announcement comes as the public calls into question why the chief initially told the city's mayor that daniel proof died of a drug overdose and made no mention of officers putting a spit hood on him and pressing his face to the ground for 3 minutes artie's fan friends at reports. and just a warning that what you're about to watch may disturb some viewers. here and buy your back back don't move don't move his death was given no attention back in march until 6 months later when this police body cam footage was released showing the death of 41 year old daniel prude. from. arizona.
12:53 pm
crude way taken office clothes complied with police laying in the street as a light snow falls. at the time new york was in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic so police put a white spit hood over head and held his head against the pavement for more than 2 minutes until they noticed something coming out of prudes mouth man you know crude stops moving and fall silent his lifeless body taken into an ambulance a week later his family took him off life support call was strictly for help prudes brother joe called police saying daniel had some mental health issues but was harmless prudes death was ruled a homicide caused by complications of his fix in the setting of physical restraint and that p.c.p. was improved system the day and cold rule and he has a cold room there to sit with a woman and i urge the attorney general to complete her investigation now new york's top prosecutor leticia james is taking the case of daniel prude out of the
12:54 pm
local jurisdictions hands and bringing the case before a grand jury lee dying from a drug overdose and police custody as i was told by the chief. is entirely different. than what i ought to meet lee witnessed on the video 1st and foremost i extend my condolences to the proof family after 6 nights of protest and pressure from protesters rochester police chief lawyer ron singletary announced tuesday he is retiring his statement reading quote as a man of integrity i will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character the mis characterization and the politicization of the actions that i took after being informed of mr prudes death is not based on facts and is not what i stand for and he's not the only one the city's mayor reporting the entire command staff also submitted their retirements the 7 officers involved in prudes death have
12:55 pm
since been suspended but will still be paid because of contract rules meanwhile protest against racial injustice and police brutality continue across the country but the city of portland heading its 100th night of protests. over the holiday weekend protesters threw molotov cocktails at officers and started fires prompting police to declare a riot and use tear gas one protester even lighting himself on fire by accident with police and other protesters helping to put it out federal agents pulled back and started to leave portland on july 31st but as the unrest has continued and picked up federal authorities have again said they may just send them back for r.t. and farron fronsac. more and more of the world seems to be factional wising in rallying around political and religious ideologies with a fervor not seen in many years and while giving your support to a cause a belief is indeed a healthy part of any political or cultural system if taken too far your support

can quickly become zealotry and zealotry is what leads us to the creation the world and devices like this are bomba thanks to this recently declassified film iraq rose out of russia's state a tie. agency we now have an up close and personal look at the largest nuclear weapon ever ever created. the video showcases the october 1961 test detonation of the bar in the arctic circle the flash we've seen from over 600 miles away the heat of the blast was spelt 160 miles from ground 0 and the top of the bomb was mushroom cloud climb to just below the edge of space. this destructive force was created at the height of the cold war when political zealotry between the soviets and united states was at its zenith blind hatred and blind faith rarely lead to the beauty of dreams just the creation
