of the hour i hope sees it. much. more. when i was a child small seemed wrong wrong when all was just all. in the world to get to shape our disney to come to add to it and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

greetings and salutation. guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty by now most of us have heard that most historic of burdick's which was brought down this week and former minneapolis police officer derrick. yes mr shaaban is now without a shadow of a doubt guilty of murdering george would the notorious blue wall of silence could not protect him in fact it crumbled before his very eyes and no matter how much his defense tried to put the victim of 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 and in the process. trip and fall over their own idiocy narcissism and yes racism like our good friends in the police officer of speculation of minneapolis who after thanking the jury instead and sending remorse to the community decided to go on to declare that quote 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. you or else needs to stop as you know police killing black folks in minneapolis and be a good thing stop too 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 do 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 for justice. you know i'm sorry george floyd 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 all. you wanted was on a cd you streets. are so let's see the rises joyce

state police traced this crazy city this sleaze systemic deception is complete show which is now with some real. world where everybody is watching the hawks. and i'm just across. it astounds me the amount of car cassidy but we are seeing displayed in the wake of all 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 4 way was out to do he was not this is a man who literally walked into a couple. to buy a small item and he ended up losing his life literally across the street from that from that store 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 watch nancy pelosi specifically get 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'm 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 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 or 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 them are 99 percent of these officers never going to be charged anyway but then we once we 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 and we see that time and time again they either get off completely because it's declared a mistrial or something like that or they you know they have they are acquitted or they get the lowest level charge completely so they may murder somebody am based serve 3 years or less and then 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 legs so there's and this is this is the 1st step in a marathon up a mountain there's an example of it still coming in terms of change it but it's a 1st it's a good powerful stuff. black americans have endured literacy tests whole

texas domestic terrorism but 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 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 voter restrictions but not everyone is on board in fact georgia faith 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 called 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 sherrilyn i feel testified against georgia's progressive voter legislation civil rights attorney robert shapiro 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 of the land in georgia and what do you think boycotts will accomplish. what we have to understand that fundamentally speaking the georgia 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 that 2002 election there had not been a republican elected 430 years in georgia since 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 where they were if you will they passed a transgender bathroom bill so for years going in the other states so well what

happened in arizona will be refused to pass to change holiday companies and individuals have to divest from the state. 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 will 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 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 lead slate or have closed 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 at 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 store. and it absolutely can change the course of it and think well what was on south africa during apartheid it wasn't political movements it wasn't the marches it was the mandela going to jail the ended apartheid it was corporations divesting from 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 moved 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 a jim crow jim crow laws and a jim crow state and. 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 and or need to short of property owners had 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 from voting there is that same thing that goes on with these voting restrictions were they are 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 $12000.00 votes if the if these laws are able to effect one out of every $200.00 votes in the state of georgia that would come up to about $25000.00 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 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 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 have stripped and got a new voting rights it in 1965 these voting changes taking place in georgia and in the other protect the jurisdiction 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 of proof in the old cells did secret states from being able to past. border restrictions robert i got to say thank you so much for coming on and educate our audience always a pleasure sir. thank you any time. all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching it all through the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on all platforms so you got no choice. definitely pick it up all right coming up there is a new twist in the world of vaccine distribution involves a legging vaccine 2 car. that's going to be interesting dr bob arnot joins us next to discuss so stay tuned to watch the whole.

world is driven by dream shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being

that. direct. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. me from a dog. in the bush at the source mean older than just the same question which we know. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption i don't know.

to this day mothers still search for grown children while looking in hope for their birth parents. in his annual address to the nation russian president vladimir putin reminded his citizens and the world in fact russia has red lines when it comes to foreign policy interests and those red lines need to be taken seriously and there lays the problem the west refuses to acknowledge russia as its own national. we've turned a corner in managing the code 19 threat across america but by the administration

continues to be diligent in making sure that the vaccine is available without limitation this week but 19 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 back sedated that card features personal identifiers like your name and birth date 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 workforce international travel seekers and the like but not every vaccine card is legit state attorney generals are waving the red flag is 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 a chicago where farmer says 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 over at 19 barry even for those vaccinated the question of whether or not there vaccines provide the protection necessary to fight emerging variance is still murky the buy the 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 hesitancy and conspiracy theories infectious disease expert dr bob arnot is here to break it all down welcome doctor. great reporting we sure thank you dr bob that scene 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 fast tracked they didn't

have the time to create the system they envisioned do you think the current fraud will force different measures in ensuring people are actually vaccinated and what risks are posed when fake vaccine cards are used. associate risky imagine someone you know movie theater on an airplane with a fake vaccine car who might be infected i think the chinese intern the best over the last year you know you you have an 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 your p.c.r. so if you've had a test and also see your surat because the other thing is say you've had the vaccine how in the work you don't know if you've the sorabjee so in china now if you go to a movie theater apartment building an airplane travel to the country you have those and i think it's going to take that to grieve technology because as you've reported beanies are everywhere it's a simple piece of paper they're all kinds of blueprints for 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 year's end if even more variance begin to emerge and erupt. such great questions you know the b. 17 the u.k. variant has been pretty dominant here in our state of vermont we've now seen a 1st case of p one which is the brazilian a very coarse the south african variant the b 135 want to someone that people sort of fear the most and this fire is are any

viruses are called the king of errors ever replicating mechanism and when they replicate there's no way to check the errors every 2 weeks to make an error most more 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 and 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 blue series 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 you don't know how many people actually exposed to a virus will be asking well and then 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 federal susceptibility or just pessimistic or assume israel with a tremendous decline in deaths and hospitalizations like what i'm seeing here but still 20 percent to 2 percent of americans are kids and adolescents they're not kind of a back seat until fall or winter you have 20 percent of all americans you haven't got the vaccine even jellicoe other groups that are there vax are 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 this. still trouble ahead here. you can ask all the pundit for my next question or comment back pain has a tennessee conspiracy theory is spreading appalls information and partisanship are threatening backs in 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 aren't 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 rail 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 you know have been left of the sort of it i fax or stance so i think it's very tough i think it means we're not going to be able to that level

it's quite interesting i have a patient who's $31.00 and she refused to get the vaccine was worried about fertility would so interesting is we had a local. chiropractor who are let in the paper with the usual anti baxter's response and i was going to write you know big sort of response to it and the whole the sudden johnson and johnson comes out of the blue these terrible blood clots they call them rare but let me 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 are in a virus you know these non-writer ones that is the m.r. any in my book pfizer has to check and we really have not seen any of these clearly problems and i i swear by them i've certainly stepped up to the plate for myself and my family so. trouble ahead your last question very quickly got about a minute left in the show but i want to ask you do you know do you see this kind of

like has and see the good vaccination is this is something that's kind of normal to the human 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 that's just going to jump their backs or stance i mean i grew a poll with actually when i 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 remember either but there was a follow on that we had the birchers and you had these various right wing groups and 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 no use the whole or for 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 tough thank you as always dr for coming on and educating our audience was always a pleasure as a young girl just into. c.n.n. . art of what about is 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 an animistic profit keep on 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. someone she has never been much of or even got corballis would you toward. a solution for us your movement which are fun but it's just a follow up to the bullshit. i use the money and see if she had such a thing built to the people in the group she's just. you know it's just it's a new video boy and i. couldn't see the part when i was a me which is messy and you will most of the new year it's obvious that these to go either a probable or a look at the phone is good but when they're low must stay you knew. it was yesterday just the cellos mashal is good to know what you just saw was the voice you mean to. block a lot of book thought that's big it looks much the bob boy. does these nasty

moves never he said it was me as you make shit up for. you to act. like lives that matter rallies founded by us are democrats call for the abolition of america's police force warning of that in officers of conviction for george floyd's killing will not suffice. russia's defense minister announces an end to a large scale military exercise in the country's crimean peninsula after claims from western powers that moscow was preparing for war with ukraine. u.k. government is caught up in a corruption scandal as
