i'm talking of course about the holiday battle over the paltry size of the coded stimulus checks yes the literal scraps from the congressional budget terry table that have lawmakers in such a tizzy this holiday season and despite united states president donald trump's initial threat to veto the $900000000000.00 coded stimulus bill drawing exasperated sloppy wet breaths from mitch mcconnell and the rest are brand name and she eventually relented and signed the bill late sunday night but not even that debacle could stop members from congress from continuing to show their true colors to extend their marco rubio who on sunday unleashed his inner trumpets here on dr anthony the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases when rubio took to twitter tweeting out dr a lot about masks in march dr g. has been distorting the level of vaccination needed bird immunity it isn't just him many elite bubbles believe the american people doesn't know what's good for them so

they need to be tricked into doing the right thing. well if anyone knows anything about elite bubbles here in the united states it's got to be senator rubio who back on december 19th used his elite bubble status as a u.s. senator to secure himself a covert vaccination before thousands upon thousands of at risk front line workers in the health care industry even got to with a one. so as we continue to fight for table scraps and elitists like marco rubio live off of our tax dollars my friends i think it's time we start watching. on a cd you st. let's see this is joyce state . great city this sleaze systemic deception is so much. so that you'll.

welcome everyone watching the harks i am terrible and i'm a just so amazing what did you like that battle royal we saw in congress take place all the backstabbing in the craziness that happened over this relief bill over over the holiday break i will say that that was the biggest you know pretty christmas surprise we came so close congress had already gone home everything was supposed to be wrapped up all signed simple to the point that people would start getting their checks this week and then all of a sudden trump pulls everything back and runs on the idea that people deserve more which is something he didn't talk about before this plane even though democrats in congress have been pushing for more dollars for months now and not recognize or fully recognizing in his case that stalling only meant people were going to get further and it really is still do all the birds were gone with the checks out and this was just a very interesting process to get to the exact same spot we are today where he was still going to have to fund while you're still going to fund the bill what really

gets under my skin too is just the hypocrisy that you see from people like senator rubio lindsey graham. and others who you know they were quick to line up to get their shots which i understand that you've got to give the politicians a guy as much as it irks me i get it like you've got to give your elected officials they make decisions that are vital to the country they have to be you know they got to get the shots they're going to get the vaccinations i get that but seeing so many people who sat and yelled and hollered about the rules of the paramedic the lockdown was wearing blah blah blah it's not real all of this other garbage that they spew to the us you're seeing these guys sit down and get stuck in the arm as we have over the last few weeks just reeks of apocrypha to them oh it absolutely does it in marco rubio's case specifically this is someone who attacked dr pao she kept attacking even after he got the coded vaccine didn't believe and spoke against kobe 1000 being a real threat for the past 8 months if it's just surprising not only to watch him take that back scene and now you know be so my ok but it's also pressure on me

because there are so many people full disclosure i found out yesterday that my grandmother contracting company 1000 and to know that there are literally people who are in the senior living facilities who are going to get the vaccine for another 2 or 3 weeks meanwhile their younger people who are having access to it right now as well as people who would still like to believe in 1000 didn't exist and push these conspiracy theories it's just really frustrating it truly is you know especially here in the about your grandmother is the fact that now you have you're getting reports out that the super rich the wealthiest of the well the are offering top dollar to their doctors in beverly hills in the hamptons to get them somehow to the point of the line. there was i mean there was a doctor the los angeles times report that reports the doctor who runs the beverly hills concierge doctor whose clients include area ground justin bieber and regularly pay up to $10000.00 a year for like private personalized care he stated he's getting hundreds of calls

every single day from his like high end elite one per. clientèle saying you know how do i get the vaccine what do i got to pay what do i got to do put me at the front of the list absolutely people are willing to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to get this vaccine now before it's actually available to the general public and this isn't surprising but it the part that frustrates me the most is that many of them will get it you know there are people who are actually having their names added to the list of home health care workers or you know nursing staff or some of the nursing homes and senior care centers who have never worked a day in their lives in senior care centers but they're sliding a few dollars to people who do so they can get their names on the list in jumping from alive to get these vaccines it creates this underworld type of market but honestly a lot of people will take the cash and make sure that they pass this you know get these people these vaccines dr jeff told who works at cedars sinai medical center told the l.a. times quote that a patient actually asked him directly if by donate 25000 the cedars with that help

me get in the line that's just like exist just blatant like hey i have money i deserve this i'm going to cheat to get it and every person who cheats and jumps and about wine is then also putting someone who is at risk someone who is a print line worker that's one less for them you are 100 percent correct here but i would posit that this is exactly no different than what we saw with the hiv aids pandemic and a lot of the drugs that been used to have become popularized to suppress some of the aftereffects of that because if you had the money in the ninety's people were passing that along to get these drugs that were then still experimental and they lived well into old age meanwhile you know a lot of people who were people of color or people who were impoverished died almost instantly i want to add to what you said about you know kind of people fudging the books and saying oh i work of blood you know nursing homes or i do these kind of things which is really crazy is that if you just look at california the guidelines there obviously say that people who work in essential industries are

prioritized in terms of who gets the nation's. injust california nearly to. 1000000 people 2 thirds of the state workforce work and what are considered essential industries you're talking 12000000 people in just that state alone so i think the other problem that running into is that kind of like what we define as essential to where we're not really putting up good ground rules and that's what creates these black markets for them the one percent and others the kind of jump in and take advantage of and leave the poor people essentially blown in the wind so. investigators in nashville tennessee now know who committed the crime but the motive remains a mystery today federal authorities remain at the scene of the christmas day bombing that killed the accused bomber and injured 3 others are to correspondent natasha sweet brings with the latest on the information authorities are working with now to piece everything together. you're watching video of the nashville explosion set off on christmas morning police retrieve the footage from their

network cameras this one situated in downtown before the bomb was detonated a recorded warning went off with a 15 minute countdown telling people that a bomb would in fact be going off. anthony. weiner yes. it would. be here authorities say they linked a d.n.a. evidence to 63 year old anthony quinn warner they say the bomb went off in an r.v. park downtown neighbors say the r.v. at the explosion was similar to the one normally at warners residence overnight t.b.i. forensic scientists processed evidence from the crime scene for d.n.a. testing yet it was compared to evidence collected from a vehicle used by the person of interest in this case officials say warner blew himself up in the explosion and is believed to have acted alone 3 people 'd were injured and dozens of buildings were damaged including an 18 t.

transmission center according to local media among the more than $500.00 leads given to investigators agents are looking into reports that warner. experienced paranoia believing that 5 g. was being used to spy on americans the explosion also cause disruptions to internet connections and cell phone service back in november warner reportedly transferred his property to a woman in los angeles for 0 dollars the woman declined to comment referring to the f.b.i.'s orders a cousin of warners said he owned an alarm company in the past he also worked as a computer consultant for a nashville real estate company for 15 years one of the co-owners said warner retired earlier this month and never exhibited any behavior which was less than professional neighbors described warner as a loner several celebrities offering reward money to help assist in the investigation some 3 $100000.00 has been raised still far now the governor of tennessee has asked the president for an emergency declaration all the while authorities are still searching for a motive for $44.00 watching the hocks untouched suites are. truly tragic

but you've been kind of looking at this from a really interesting angle is why are they calling this a terrorist act. but there is a fresh station there resides in me and i think most people of color when it comes to how the f.b.i. and other organizations as well as the media handle white terrorism when the when the boston marathon bomber committed his acts it was almost immediately called an act of terrorism we've seen this happen time and time again when the person is of african descent when the person happens to be of the islamic faith. but when it is a white male homegrown guy no one ever questions orse calls it domestic terrorism even when all of it secret points checked for this he had some crazed fear of 5 g. technology and technological advancement which was the same thing that we saw with the unabomber because this was a guy who had pre-planned in pretty much laid out how he wanted this to be done because he went to nashville 6 30 in the morning and one of the busiest streets in

the entire city and demand and 2nd avenue he made sure to alert authorities as well as. to make call out over a loudspeaker while there to ensure that nobody within the vicinity yeah or if the rating himself. yeah that was one of the things that really jumped out to me was clearly he didn't want to hurt other people least that's all we know of so far but he definitely wanted to go off in that spot you know and the thing is too is it's like it always makes me segues we was i why didn't 15 gee it will be in spite of all i'm sorry you're already being spied on you can't get around that you carry a cell phone you're being spied on and this is a cia like f.b.i. we're the most surveilled society maybe next to the u.k. where they have a camera on every street corner you can't get around them why take your anger out the way that this guy did and i want to hear that this is a guy who also previously worked in security his whole job with the people so i'm like i don't really fully understand that but we've also heard from some of the neighbors who spoke about you know not only his 5 years but how much of a loner he was how much he fit that he wanted the world to remember him that badly

those are things that are theory by people who are about to commit some type of crazy yet we've heard it time and time again from those who have committed acts of terrorism thankfully not as painful he kept the body to the minimum one could possibly do but still no excuse for that cover. everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man to the brand new t.v. ad which is available on all platforms so definitely pick that up coming up we look at all that we look at how the governor of kansas yes kansas is reshaping how this country deals with addicts and addiction here's a hint she's not throwing them in jail for a change stay to watch the whole. the

world is driven by shaped by those.

things. we dare to ask. americans of and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report with stacy herbert and special year end guest misfires. i must say the kind of sensitivity to world events of markets rarely see anywhere except here on kaiser for mit welcome back. this is not like. it's not a money spinner but it is expensive. and it's dangerous . and this is. the breaks that's. going to solve the problem solving.

america's jails and prisons have serious problems from rampant abuse to failure to meet health and safety protocols you name it and it makes face it recently a st louis county jail had to face the music as one inmate to death raise questions about how his condition was handled 20 year old the market died of survivable leukemia last year after allegedly seeking help from the staff who were use to let him see you doctor. it's civil right through just been filed against the county and several jail workers the lawsuit claims that the county jails health system is so

disorganized that it lacks adequate medical supervision by nurses and doctors. but all news isn't bad news on the criminal justice from kansas says showing a few signs of hope governmental or kelly proposed a treatment center for him me despite the widespread notion that inmates are largely violent criminals that actually most inmates have substance abuse and mental health issues and are incarcerated as a result of the governor kelly plans to recommend adding a treatment center at the state prison in lansing. if the measure is put into action inmates will be sentenced to the treatment center for intensive treatment rather than housed in traditional prison space with research showing that 65 percent of the u.s. population suffers from substance abuse disorders this type of criminal justice reform could go a long way here to tell us more is john cooper us national director of reentry initiatives for right on crime and author rights director of criminal justice and civil liberties at our st what i'm. going to make you think is

a. i'm excited to have both of you guys as always so much fun to have you on i hope you guys had a great holiday. so i'm going to start with you are there on this question leukemia when it's treated properly it has an over 90 percent survival rate it isn't an automatic death sentence so when catchings asked for help and complained of pains and his health deteriorated he just wasn't taken seriously how common is this in jails and prisons and what recourse to the families have to make sure their loved ones aren't neglected. i think it's prevalent in there and it goes back to you know something that we have been talking about for a long time john and i worked on this issue is there is a culture of a and humanity in our system it's the idea that you walk people wary and then you can forget about them i mean i said this before you know gandhi said you judge a country and mentioned by how it treats its weakest members and we treat our weakest members children immigrants and individuals that are incarcerated very

poorly and i just want to say one thing that we need court in this case just man was innocent this is true child he was in jail not prison. and now his charge was a serious charge but he wasn't guilty of the do anything and there are minimal even if he was guilty and even if. we do they said it in the charging documents was true he still didn't serve a death sentence and i think if you look at that and then you look at the idea of culture in our incarcerated. centers and if i could nurse the persons of close to be you know we're looking at their well being so that he's at stake or when he obviously had decided he wasn't pregnant having to really show that we have a. breach of the professional but the tussle ism of or individuals who work in prisons jails across this country john i want to ask you what types of guidelines exist for the management of preexisting conditions and what do you

believe will result from the lawsuit that we're seeing right now in st louis county . judge a great question and you know typically back to what arthur said 1st you know the problem in correctional medicine is that the contracts are given normally the lowest responsive dinners where they are given to private companies and look no one expects that the person to have the mayo clinic inside of it but at the end of the day if you have a highly preventable issue you have the same duty and that you have on the outside as a doctor to treat right you can't ignore the condition just because you don't like in maine or you might not like inmates in general it's terrible and you know it's going on around the country where correctional medicine companies or correctional and it's in 5 years simply don't have a staff or they don't devote the staff to fix these issues no if they can prove history medical malpractise less negligence case then i think we have some place to go now the added treat your is in deprivation of civil rights which is i'm not

a traditional doctor patient relationship but one that might go for here because the person did everything needed to notify the general of this issue. and to piggyback off of that john we know that mental health disorders and substance abuse issues have been used to incarcerate people now who are decades criminal justice reform efforts like what we're seeing be undertaken in kansas could be a game changer could you explain how treatment center might be implemented and how governor kelly even got to this place. sure so kelly got to this place and then they can just criminal justice commission's report which is a fantastic report that recommends a lot of different changes across a lot of different systems in kansas one of which is to point substance abuse treatment in kind prison all now i mean should arthur and you know you know my home state of new jersey and i never missed a chance to brag about it but it was governor christie back in 27 and oh it's

disturbing to really do this what he didn't was he closed the 700 beds for a simple mistake correctional facility and turn it into a treatment for instance and now you have 696 and last for that 696. residential treatment beds so i could still courtney candice is because you'll be able to get it if it goes through you'll be able to get the same treatment that you can get on the streets so we know that the current jenny eager is high substance abuse and mental health issues and co-occurring diagnoses if we treat that while someone on the wall we make everyone sing not just the pain inside the president names aren't etc but cystitis in general i give people a chance to read claiming their dignity and hopefully produce a variety and getting their addiction under control and not committing any more crimes it's interesting are there are we going to see a shift in how substance abuse is treated in our justice system and will proposals like this also affect those with long standing drug problems we've already. been

serving out their sentences i mean kim fox cook county state's attorney in chicago is right now pushing to automatically your race convictions for dealing we expose cocaine and heroin arrests as well are we going to see this as kind of a better or a better idea the better practice of how we handle our war on drugs and convicting people that bought through it. i only answer only hope so i mean even one of the one of the beauties of america and some people you know actually hate this is the idea that we. state gets to be need kind of they need to be i'm actually really excited to see what happens in in oregon are we going to see a complete meltdown because they have. legalized or decriminalized new things or are we going to see which i predicted that we shouldn't have these things criminalize in the 1st place you know and you know john the magic word there seems to be and this is the thing that i think that that we really got to get or are our hands around we know for

a fact there is so much evidence out there that public safety is actually increased when we treat individuals going to have a sub to be used as if they are sick and they need help and instead of throwing them away locked away the key or just treating them as if they're a nuisance to our society we actually try to do something to help them we have actually increased public safety i know one of these things one thing that i live by this is how we've seen this dramatic shift in the way we have used from the days of crack cocaine to now that gave the book to opioids and i think it is telling that you know we we we we totally have a different lives of how we treat the abuse during the opioid crisis when it was cracking with the absolute criminal epidemic and now we're using the words you know it's a medical issue and that's a good thing but i think we shouldn't forget and i think we should definitely learn the lesson that when you know community color will be trusted with.

the graphic to make sure we didn't get the same way and i'm very happy that things are changing and to answer your question directly you know there's something that we've seen and done i work all the time and we have the only person that brags jersey we've seen all these years we always cost this country that there's a trickle down effect when it comes to promote just the quarter when a state passes something it seems to work we've seen other states usually the speeds are similar surrounding those were they have been learning the demographics . which line think it's. spread throughout. the. country and we're seeing it in california another place so i'm very hopeful that going to be a new trend i think will end on that our 3rd john thank you both for joining us today and providing our viewers with your expertise on this matter thank you gentleman. thank you. all right as we close in on the final days of 2020 year that without

a doubt will go down as clearly one of the worst in recent human history let us step into the new year with a new found effort to simply not fall down yes we can can we please try a little harder to keep ourselves from falling down keep those falls to a minimum i'm serious i'm not joking and what has got to be one of the strangest and sad is that this next we've seen in a while according to the c.d.c. 29 to 30 percent of all non fatal emergency room visits across all ages come from folks losing their balance then falling down stairs steps ramps landings you name it human beings have figured out a way to fall off of it in fact in $2900.00 bowing down and hurting oneself amounted to over 8000000 emergency room visits here in just the united states so come on folks please just get our balance point in 2021 where we can and how we can start to put your out you know the rest like accidental poisonings and swallowing unintentional foreign bodies who are what if that is our

show for today remember in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tired and i love you keep on watching all those hawks never great they invite everybody. back skies or this is the kaiser. stay. see herbert and special year end guest misfires the man who i must say how the kind of sensitivity to world events and markets were seeing anywhere except here on kaiser for mitt welcome back. americans love buying homes.

this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hoe and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that old question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. military

thinks. we dare to ask. an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect the. water the escaping the climate change is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is $35.00 closer to the power than love and it was for i think were part of her 1st for. were.
