8:30 pm
it is the site that actually went out of its way to remove donald trump sees c pac speech from its platform so how anybody thought that this would not be met with a huge backlash is beyond me what's interesting is that if you actually listen to susan which ickes acceptance speech she she goes into detail about all of the censorship you cannot separate free speech from censorship and monitoring hate speech and it really just goes to show that in these people these progressive activists of which susan which ikey obviously is one have no concept of what free speech actually means. go back to our top story from israel where air raid sirens have sounded near a secretive nuclear reactor site the israeli military has attacked targets in syria in response to a missile that impacted in the desert near the negative negative nuclear research center close to the city of dimona people across israel are reporting they felt their houses shake according to the syrian defense ministry 4 syrian service men were injured as
8:31 pm
a result of the israeli missile strike course our team is following it and we'll bring you more information as the story develops. and that does it for me this i'll be back with more news in let's say 29 minutes you're watching our. elderly forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except when such orders to conflict with the 1st law. of the day should or should be very careful about official intelligence at the point is to create trust the shia. areas shots in with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the obama must protect its own existence and existence.
8:32 pm
with. russia u.s. relations are in tatters at this point there is no reason to believe they will improve anytime soon it appears that washington is determined to force moscow to take the meet this is delusional this will never happen we live in the most dangerous of time. greetings and sell you take. guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty by now most of us have heard that most historic of verdicts which was brought down this week and former minneapolis police officer derek shaw i'm yes mr shaaban is now without a shadow of
8:33 pm
a doubt guilty of murdering george would you know toreadors blue wall of silence could not protect him. back to crumble before his very eyes and no matter how much is the defense tried to put the victim of dirk's robbins actions on trial 12 individual jurors saw through the farce and racism of it all and finally brought some much needed accountability to the murder of mr floyd and while the minneapolis community and many others around the country and even the world breathed a sigh of relief and gave a cheer for justice well that didn't seem to stop our wonderful politicians and civic leaders from excitedly jumping on the history of the moment in the process trip and fall over their own idiocy narcissism and yes racism like our good friends in the police officer of speculation in minneapolis who after thanking the jury instead and sending remorse to the community decided to go on to declare that quote
8:34 pm
we need the political pandering to stop and the race baiting of elected officials to stop in addition we need to stop the divisive comments and we all need to do better to create a minneapolis we all love. what else needs to stop is you know police killing black folks in minneapolis not be a good thing to stop to there but it wasn't just police union representatives who were practicing foot and mouth disease on tuesday and germany after was mayor and a guy who probably owns a huge a crew credit cards jacob frey who in the aftermath of the murder tweeted george why you came to minneapolis to better his life but ultimately his life will have bettered our city. yes the george floyd died for all of us the wasn't just confined to local politics as united states house leader nancy pelosi told a crowd of people quote thank you george floyd for sacrificing your life
8:35 pm
for justice. from. you know i'm sorry george boyd didn't murder him self so that a cop could finally be held accountable he was an innocent man going about his regular life trying to buy a piece of candy when a group of cops led by derek shove and killed him over a bad $20.00 bill think about that well and start watching the whole. list on a cd the streets. are so let's see see rises joyce state police race crazed city this sleaze systemic deception is complete show which is some real. world where everybody is watching the hawks. and i'm just across. it astounds me the amount
8:36 pm
of car cassidy but we are seeing displayed in the wake of all this of these people as they go well you know george would die for the city of many hours jacob frey or nancy pelosi you know george boy died for justice what are they getting so horribly wrong about this well i think that part of what they're getting wrong is that they are actually listening to the civil rights in there because the community because there are also people who are they are also folks who are saying that this is basically you know justice served and civil rights groups advocacy groups bokes have been fighting for police reforms on the ground are calling this that at all we're calling it accountability justice we have get to see accountability that is what we got out of this out of this show the verdict but i think that one of the other things is they're trying to make this a lay down your life situation to change you know race relations to change and bring about reforms and acting as though that is what george full way was out to do he was not this is a man who literally walked into a couple. to buy
8:37 pm
a small item and he ended up losing his life literally across the street from that from that store and this was not someone who was out you know waving a protest banner carrying signs had a long legacy of civil rights movement legislative work and things like that he was not laying down his life or anything his life was snuffed out you know we have to be real that this was a murder and i think that for many black people who are listening and or who watched nancy pelosi specifically give that those comments yesterday because she said them on the heels of the congressional black caucus speaking out about this it was a real slap in the face it definitely was and i just so people understand the gravity of what this decision was the most comprehensive databases on police violence is maintained by getting philip stinson the criminologists of bowling green state university and also former police officer his researchers found the average roughly about a 1000 people were killed by u.s. police mostly by shooting each and every year about a 1000 in his work less than 2 per cent of those 1000 deaths
8:38 pm
a year result in charges actually being filed against police officers in fact according to his research since 2005. on duty shootings have resulted in $100.00 only $140.00 cases of police being arrested on charges of murder or manslaughter of those $97.00 cases that actually went through it to a full trial only said the since 2005 have resulted in murder convictions more than half were dismissed or resulted in acquittals these are astounding of tickets and bring all the more reason why this why what we saw yes what we saw happen on tuesday was so important exactly that was a watershed moment in many ways because in the majority of cases like this 99 percent of the 99 percent of these officers never going to be charged anyway but then we want to get past that charging stage how many are actually going to go through the court system to go through this entire process and receive any penalty we see that time and time again. they either get off completely because it's
8:39 pm
declared a mistrial or something like that or they you know they and they are acquitted or they get the lowest level charge completely so they may murder somebody and they serve 3 years or less i mean in those cases again it's only a handful of people that have actually ever seen these sentences anyway it's powerful powerful decision by the jury that's going to hopefully you know look so there's and this is this is the 1st step in a marathon up a mountain because that would still coming in terms of change it but it's a 1st it's a good powerful. black americans have endured literacy tests poll taxes domestic terrorism with the k.k.k. beating burning crosses in their yards bombing their homes and churches and committing murder all in an effort to keep black people from voting it was the jim crow way the legacy of an era that not only didn't value black lives but didn't count black people as american or worthy of a stake in our democratic system sadly that time didn't in the sixty's the 15th
8:40 pm
amendment the civil rights act in generations of advocates have yet to in the stronghold jim crow has on our democracy upheld as exceptional across the globe no right here in america while we advance democratic the ideals abroad republican leaders are destroying them at home following a record breaking voter turnout in the presidential election of 2020 georgia became a battleground state for jim crow 2.0 where republicans are using every weapon at their disposal to shatter minority voting rights the passing of senate bill 202 made georgia ground 0 for civil rights activism and litigation as its the most far reaching voter suppression legislation of our time. georgia progressive leaders and voting rights advocates have called on businesses and corporations to do more to fight the legislation corporations like facebook google coca-cola delta j.p. morgan and many more have called out georgia's border restrictions but not everyone
8:41 pm
is on board in fact georgia they've leaders recently called for a nationwide boycott of home depot the construction goods giant is based in georgia and is noticeably been silent on the georgia voter restriction law. a coalition of executives from georgia's largest companies and fake leaders from across the state call for a boycott of home depot on tuesday this comes on the heels of a committee hearing in the nation's capital where newly elected georgia senator raphael warnock their fight founder stacy abrams and p. president shall and i call testified against georgia's regressive voter legislation civil rights attorney robert taylor joins us now. robert s.b. $20.00 to the voter suppression law that has been making headlines since its passage is just that it's a law what tools are at the disposal of advocates now that the voter suppression and jim crow is the law the land in georgia and what do you think boycotts will accomplish. what we have to understand that fundamentally speaking the georgia
8:42 pm
voter suppression law was put it started in 1997 when we passed the 1st voter id bill it was not actually put into use until the 2002 election prior to the 2002 election there had not been a republican elected 430 years in georgia since that 2002 election every single republican every single governor of georgia has been a republican so let me say that these laws are not about voter suppression the math is not on their side so what can be done going forward is similar to what we saw in north carolina when they refuse when they passed a transgender bathroom bill so for years going in the other states somewhere what happened in arizona where they refused to pass the king holiday companies and individuals have to divest from the state to make sure they understand the importance of supporting the right to vote and so a lot of performed of justice and 2020 was all banners and t. shirts to paint sidewalks and streets to say you support black laws but right now is where the rubber hits the road and we need real concentrated legislative action
8:43 pm
and we need the business community to come together to stop these things from happening in georgia because what happens is it will start in georgia and then it will spread texas is already taking up this legislation 43 states have a net. slate or have posed for legislation that would restrict the right to vote so what we have to do is ensure that we are supporting the rights of the democratic process and supporting the right to vote for every american i want to ask you look a growing number of c.e.o.'s and corporations we've heard speak out on voting rights most recently linked in co-founder reid hoffman join the chorus urging business leaders to back up verbal support with the action i want to ask you know is this the course of action that could change the course for the republican party there see what reid said about that you know protecting voting rights and making voting more accessible as well pro-business and more importantly and pro-american but are these corporations and the pressure and their c.e.o.'s going to actually change the course of action or is this going to just kind of all be noise in the storm. and it absolutely can change the course of it and think by what was on south
8:44 pm
africa during apartheid it wasn't political movements it wasn't the marches it was a mandela going to jail to in apartheid it was corporations divesting from south africa the resulted in the end of apartheid so when we talk about the power of corporate leadership on the planet earth in the last 2 years more films have been filmed in the state of georgia than any other single location on the planet earth much of the state's income and comes from the fortune $500.00 companies there because the low taxes low look regulation lack of union participation so because of that they hold the power to hold the state accountable i don't think any major corporation want to be known as the corporation that supports the jim crow jim crow laws and the jim crow state and so when you hear these arguments well this should not be compared to jim crow during jim crow there were several race neutral as well nations for the legislative it seems that they made everything from from claiming that literacy tests were needed to ensure you had a educated voter voting groups poll tests or need it to jordan property owners had
8:45 pm
a voice land only restrictions were needed because people who own land had a bigger vote to ensure they had a bigger voice in the community but what they really were intentionally created to prevent. african-americans and other marginalized groups and voting there is that same thing that goes on with these voting restrictions were there based upon the lie that donald trump told which is that they need that there was massive fraud and that they need to find him 12000 votes if the if these laws are able to effect one out of every 200 votes in the state of georgia that would come up to about 25000 votes so it's not about bull connor standing outside with dogs and holds as you just need to skim off one out of every $200.00 votes in can change the presidency you can change the balance of power in the senate from 48 from 5050 to 4052 you can change the composition of the federal judiciary by democrats not having majority you change the every single thing in american politics just by skimming all one out of every 200 votes. and robert how does
8:46 pm
a potential passage of the john lewis voting rights advancement act affect places like georgia can the federal government should they be doing more to advance voter protections and aren't they already in a race against the clock with the midterms just around the corner. they absolutely are let's remember the reason they were in this current posture is because of the shelby versus holder decision 2014 would be stripping got a new voting rights it in 1965 these voting changes taking place in georgia and in the other party jurisdictions would have been subject to when can come of this was the terms of pre-clearance. pre-clearance such as of the voting rights the john lewis voting rights bill well would to reinstate those federal protections are proof that the old cells did secret states from being able to pass new voter research. i got to say thank you so much for coming on and educate our audience always a pleasure sir. thank you. all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the walks on the roof the brand new portable t.v.
8:47 pm
which is available on all platforms so you got no choice. we pick it up all right coming up there is a new twist in the world of vaccine distribution involves a bootlegging vaccine car. that's going to be interesting dr bob arnot joins us next to discuss so stay tuned to watch the whole. show seemed wrong. wrong just don't call. me.
8:48 pm
yet to shape out just they become educated and engagement equals a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. because there's a survival guide look stay single malt to start simply travel research. be sure those are you going to get a. public knows good citizen repatriations king look at the rescue 7 years. bill of the century kaiser report. we've turned a corner in managing the code 19 threat across america but by the administration
8:49 pm
continues to be diligent in making sure that the vaccine is available without limitation this week could 1000 vaccination appointments became open to every american over the age of 16 regardless of occupational preexisting condition status but the progress america's made on the cool vaccine front hasn't come easily nor has the road to a community there without its bumps one of the hardest commodities is the covert vaccine court the paper card given when someone gets vaccinated that card features personal identifiers like your name and birthdate as well as the date the covert shot was administered which vaccine brand was given in the site it was received from these cards like the willy wonka golden ticket for things like employers trying to track vaccination of their work force international travel seekers and the like but not every vaccine card is legit state attorney generals are waving the red flag as fake vaccination cards are popping up all over the place on e bay customers are buying c.d.c. vaccination cards worked in dollars and 99 cents
8:50 pm
a chicago where pharmacist was behind that listing but he's far from the only one who had vaccine card scams are taking place across the internet and regulators are working on a crackdown the other wrinkle is posted 19 variants even for those vaccinated the question of whether or not there vaccines provide the protection necessary to fight emerging variance is still murky the bight administration for its part is investing $1700000000.00 in an effort to detect monitor and mitigate the problem and if there weren't enough problems already the johnson and johnson vaccine pause has only increased vaccine has it had seen a conspiracy theories infectious disease expert dr bob arnot is here to break it all down welcome doctor. great reporting nischelle thank you for that there bob that theme card fraud is growing it was initially planned by the c.d.c. not to use cards for that very reason they wanted a digital tracking system but because vaccinations were passed tracked they didn't
8:51 pm
have the time to create the system they envisioned do you think the current broadway force different measures and insuring people are actually backs unaided and what risk are pows when make vaccine cards are used to. associate risky imagine someone you know movie theater on an airplane with a fake vaccine car who might be infected i think the chinese in turn the best over the last year you know you you have a actual vaccine app on your phone and secure our code and that goes back to a central database the ministry of health that doesn't just have your vaccine it's p.c.r. so if you've got a test and also see your sorabjee because the other thing is say you've had the vaccine how in the working on you if you the sorabjee so in china you know if you go to a movie theater apartment building an airplane you travel the country you have pros and i think it's going to take that to grieve technology because as you've reported these are everywhere so simple piece of paper there are all kinds of blueprints for
8:52 pm
and you can make them on your own you can buy somebody and so vaccine fraud is going to be huge and dangerous until we have apps that are backed by a simple yes no doubt you know i want to i want to also ask you about the latest with the by the administration they're investing 1700000000 to fight covert 19 variants now we know that the u.k. and africa very were tracked heavily over the past few months what is the predominant strain in america now and what level of protection do the currently available vaccines provide for those variants and will americans probably need another vaccine before the years and if even more variants begin to emerge and erupt. such great questions you know the b. 17 the u.k. very. it has been pretty dominant here in our state of vermont no sooner 1st case p one which is the brazilian a very coarse the south african variant that the 135 want to someone that people sort of fear the most and this fire is and he's our new viruses are called the king
8:53 pm
of errors ever replicating mechanism when they replicate there's no way to check the error so every 2 weeks to make an error most of our nonsense but unfortunately some of them are and those are the ones now in the spike protein of course that's what attaches to your body when the spike protein is also we've made the antibodies to with your vaccine so pfizer mcgann are already on the case they already have these very serious and will be tested out i suspect late summer early fall have those i advised our local school board here to really push for those 2 specifically in regard to the pfizer because they're so far ahead of the curve in terms of testing out these very it's so i feel good that in the fall there will be a booster and that bush will be effective he had a great question about you know is there is there breakthrough yes there is breakthrough so far to think out of 75000000 vaccines or less than 6000 breakthrough cases in one study other studies little bit more perplexing because
8:54 pm
you don't know how many people actually exposed to a virus will be asking well in that relation you know how many were exposed so you know we don't know what that breakthrough rate is we do know this is that in israel . i think it was a time of the south african strain in 2.5 times you know lower end of body levels for the u.k. strength so there definitely lower levels of the antibodies however still enough that you know people doing pretty well with the brain so far but are rising specter here could talk with one of our local state fishes this afternoon here just pessimistic or assume israel the tremendous decline in deaths and hospitalizations like what i. seen here but still 20 percent to 2 percent of americans there are kids in adolescence that are kind of a back seat until fall or winter you have 20 percent of all americans you haven't got the vaccine even jellicoe some other groups that are there anti vaccines are
8:55 pm
not getting the vaccine so it doesn't look like we're going to hit that magic her community number which tony has said is between 70 and 85 percent so i think there's still trouble ahead here. you can ask all the pundit for my next question coming back pain has a chance the conspiracy theory is spreading appalls information and partisanship are threatening vaccine progress in the us many women believe that the back thing might make them infertile roomers a bad thing is causing auto immune disorders are plying republicans across the south and in other areas are willing to get the vaccine taking some type of republican smog a stance how can we overcome these hurdles what can we expect back seeing progress to do real or plateau. i think is going to plateau i don't think we can overcome a lot of them i certainly think the sound speed very difficult you know many of the left over trump voters now have been left for the sort of it i stand so i think it's very tough i think it means we're not going to be able at that level it's quite interesting to have a patient who's $31.00 and she refused to get the vaccine was worried about
8:56 pm
fertility who was so interesting is we had a local. chiropractor who are a letter in the paper with the usual anti baxter's response and i was going to write it you know big sort of response to it and the whole the sudden johnson and johnson comes out of the blue these terrible blood lines they call them rare but i mean just one case of this is terrifying and so you know they're not they're not completely wrong there is some cause for concern though i really think these m.r. in a virus you know these the non-writer ones that is the m.r.i. name i've learned pfizer has to check and we really have not seen any of these clearly problems and i i swear by them i've certainly seen. kept up to the plate for myself for my family so. trying to lead your last question very quickly got about a minute left in the show but i want to ask you do you see this kind of like has and see to get vaccination is this something that's kind of normal to the human
8:57 pm
condition over the years from all the other big pandemics and things like that that we've seen throughout history is that kind of has been see to push back or is that unique to the 21st century. i mean i think it's unique to the to the last administration let's just go. back to your stance i mean i can remember the polio vaccine when it came along everybody wanted to get that although it was quite interesting because you know right now you know in the car theory probably eminently remembered either but there was a follow on that we had the birchers and you had these various right wing groups they really did push we couldn't even get fluoride in our water is kids growing up because there's all the conspiracy about it so i think it is new i think it's new it's a holdover from the last the last regime here and i think it's very very troublesome and dangerous here we have victory in our hands and we're basically you know pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory here so it's it's hard to watch but it's
8:58 pm
tough thank you as always dr for coming on and educating our audience is always a pleasure and you're going to. see an. art of what i have out of our show for you today remember in this world we are definitely not told that we love them enough so i tell you all i love you i roll them for and i miss across the pond watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the one person of. the day or thinks. week here to ask.
8:59 pm
and i mean another one of. suede both to suit. itself moving to. a plus in this way got to talk so hard not to think i know how to decide this the work that i would and i know from the start that if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. to. the floor you can move the feet without a visible facility that you have called you have a look at the. what i think is this is the found that is
9:00 pm
a compliment. let me put in a warns western nations against a confrontation saying moscow's response will be asymmetrical and hard if it's red lines are crossed president also compared those who provoke russia to jungle book characters. initially with all sorts of little jungle runaround like with shoe bomb just like in the kipling story howling to gain favor with the rule of. mass rape and child murder and ongoing trauma a damning new report sheds more light.
