greetings and salutations it's been a long week and even longer past 12 months this time last year america was shut down toilet paper was missing from every store shelf and fears of mass spread of covert 19 were at an all time high is covert deaths and infections continue to rise the darkest days of the pandemic seem to be in america's rearview largely due to the successful development of vaccines the bided ministration advancing mass vaccination sites ensuring the most vulnerable americans had access to the vaccine partnering with pharmacies grocery stores and other retail giants to get the

vaccine in the arms of over 200000000 people in the 1st 100 days biden was in office but the goal of herd immunity it's a vase a bit bit more than half of adults in the u.s. have received at least one dose of a vaccine but daily vaccination rates are dropping fast. india is at a crisis point as covert cases shatter global records. india the world's 2nd most populous nation reported this past week an extra 1500000 new infections and record daily death tolls with hospitals running out of beds and medical oxygen. this news no doubt sped up america and other nations pushed to lift vaccine patents. and on the social media front brand name in chief former u.s. president donald trump won't be back on facebook any time soon as their oversight board continues to ban him and on the heels of that decision twitter suspended an account for mimicking trump's personal blog. and let's not forget the g.o.p.
6:02 pm
the party that lost its way somewhere between the big lie maga and supporting the insurrection on january 6th but according to senator lindsey graham the republican party can't grow without. that's the same party that lost the house the senate and the presidency under captain orange yet republicans refuse to let trump and market doctrine go. and no one is bearing the brunt of that decision war than congresswoman ranking member and lifelong republican to vote liz cheney her ousting is imminent solely because she refuses to parrot trucks lies about 2020 election. so much to unpack it's time we start watching the hawks. on a city the streets. that are so let's see the rises joyce state police race crazed city this least systemic deception is to
6:03 pm
late show which is why we're. doing this. and welcome everybody on a mission across cyro is on vacation. joining me now is the league of dual republican strategist and host of the big picture right here on our t.v. . so glad to have both of you gentlemen with me today we're going to do a rundown of some of the biggest news that has taken place across the country so holland you know much i love to use a colleague i'm so excited to see you the 19 pandemic has kept you so far away so i'm going to start with the 1st question and hand it to you sir the biden administration surpassed its initial 100 a vaccine goal there's faith that things are going to go back to normal by july so much space that theater sporting events concert been using more or scheduling their
6:04 pm
reopening plans for the summer and air travel it's really fast holland how realistic is it that the u.s. vaccination rate will reach the point where mast no longer have to be worn in normalcy is back. well it's good to see you too and the show and the virtually malique nice to meet i think the answer to your question this herd immunity we're all hoping for is still a question mark because of the sore head factor there are so many people who are still guzzling trumps kool-aid and vaccine where are you that we're not going to get there as quickly as we hoped this there is overwhelming optimism just this week on the heels of a. gallup poll we've got this a.b.c. news survey that says 2 thirds of americans are really optimistic about the coming year as this american come back on folds we're getting out more things are returning back to normal but i think it's the sore heads who are dug in that are
6:05 pm
a stalling this herd immunity that we're all hoping for. and that throw that question to you as well when do you think we're going to get back and we seen some pushback against the vaccines now particularly from people who either don't want to get the 2nd the 2nd dose or quite frankly think that enough people have gotten it already to where they don't have to do it at all. i think part of the initial problem is that you know how we discussed vaccine hesitancy remember there were many conversations that we were having at 1st that it was the african-american community who had for valid reasons were apprehensive about taking the vaccine now we've moved to discussion to trump supporters not you know being apprehensive about seeking the vaccine i think that people overall we have to remember there are a lot of people across ethnicities who have been hesitant when it comes to vaccines
6:06 pm
we know in order to get into enroll your child in schools there are vaccines that you have to take but i think across the board there are just americans who are anti vaccine and the biggest thing that i probably probably contributed to where we are now is that we're seeing that happen with the johnson and johnson vaccine where because of the blood clots the kind of stuff out there so the p.r. problem really matters so people just dug in and for many people who are hesitant remember what they said then see i told you so so you do have the government you know we have to be cognizant of the how we communicate information about the vaccine that's what i do believe that the johnson and johnson discussion hampered any effort they were moving towards her that's a really good point belleek and holland removing on to india we know that they are being reductions in collegiate and cold cases and hospitalizations across america but in india we are seeing the exact opposite they had 3600000 active covert cases
6:07 pm
and counting and over the past week the numbers exploded with an extra $1500000.00 new infections hospitals are already at capacity and india's prime minister modi is being criticized for not doing more to suppress the 2nd wave of the virus and spending $1800000000.00 on parliament renovations while covert rages what is the global community doing to assist india right now and what can we expect in the coming days. situation there is just miserable in your remember here a year ago the sad drone footage we saw of mass graves in that potter's field in new york fast forward to present day and these funeral pyres in india it just tears your heart out i think we should be proud of returning the favor because at the beginning of our shutdown india helped us they were getting us the p.p.
6:08 pm
that we are manufacturing here and now where president biden has sent a bunch of stuff over there and i think the world is watching we've all been cooped up so long for 1415 months no we've got cheated out of our summer vacation and had to settle for a staycation last year edu was going to open up there's a lot of pent up travel demand but because of the way trump initially bungled this pandemic telling us it'll be gone by easter it'll disappear like a miracle they're going to be skeptical and unless this vaccine passport thing happens. other countries mint might not be welcoming us we can't even go to canada . you make a good point holland news reports of already sat bad across europe those vaccines passports you having to have a vaccine card is going to be one of the main ways that americans can actually get back for tourism which we know is one of the primary drivers of the economy there for you really what do you think it's going to take or for americans to feel safer
6:09 pm
traveling and what do you think it's going to look like we've already seen some blocks around whether we should have those back same passports or not and many people are even willing to fight literally fight when they get on flights because they don't want to wear a mask. yeah i think that this is going to be a difficult thing to kind to underline because there were you know at the beginning of the bit what we were told is that you know this was a real serious thing and so there were people who at the time didn't take it seriously but you have these anti-government people who particularly when it comes to the government mandating you do something that's what we're pushing up against and let's face it people want to get out there they are ready to travel they are ready to go to each is but we weren't as as are as holland said we were kind of robbed of our summer last year i think for the most part they will continue to be for instance like my mother she will continue to wear a mask probably well into next year i expect that they're going to be
6:10 pm
a lot of people like my mom who will continue to wear masks but others just like you know here in washington d.c. where people are literally ready to take the mask off and get out and start enjoying their lives but this is something that we've never had to face in our lifetime so it's going to be a difficult thing to kind of unwind and i stick with you on this woman leaks social media giant facebook made a decision this week that came with quite a bit of press attention the social networks oversight board will continue the ban for donald trump for at least another 6 months after that time frame what do you think will be the fate for trump's facebook profile and how does this affect him leveraging social media to push his push its message especially with the midterms just around the corner. what can i 1st say that i really just don't care. but i did i. had it in this and it wouldn't just be about strong it's about
6:11 pm
anyone i actually thought that facebook already made this decision i didn't know that we were going back to a to an overt site who are to read every day is that we're calling it but in many ways donald trump did this to himself. it's kind of like when you were told not to put your hand in the cookie jar and you continue to put your hand in the cookie jar just to see if you were going to get caught well that's what happened here as republicans often say build your own build your own and so don't you and i think i heard that that's what he was trying to do but don't trump me many of these problems themselves and i expect after 6 months if you continue to send out his people with these from the dest of donald trump releases they're probably maintain the bin to keep them off won't least phase well permanently but i don't think that that will actually affect what's going to happen in 22 in 2 i prefer donald trump at this point not have the face or
6:12 pm
a social media account. hey man i thought that get some agreement there hollande and the other huge story that came out and we continue to see it unfold liz cheney she's been a stalwart other public and party for decades now she's the daughter of former vice president dick cheney she's a tried and true republican with a long voting record of leadership she votes nearly 90 percent of the time in favor of conservative policies she's definitely no liberal she's definitely no moderate even with all of that behind her because she refuses to stand by trump and the big lie about the 2020 election she refused to say that there was a lection fraud there what is her fate and what is the future of the republican party when we see how they're reacting to her right now. yeah and said you know the delicious irony of these otherwise free marketeers crying foul because private enterprise social media kicked them off let them go and join the my pillow guys
6:13 pm
platform i think you know if trump is too exposed this crazy gets out of control you've got. congresswoman green for who's been stripped of her committee assignments you've got this gunslinger bowl berth matt gates these people skate and they're busting liz cheney because she won't say the election was stolen this week we've seen these pictures all over social media ted cruz is dining in the guardian mar-a lago dining room with donald trump you can only wonder who grabbed the check but this is the same trump who was calling cruisers wife ugly and saying his father killed j.f.k. lindsey graham called him every name in the book before he genuflected and jim jordan is getting heat all over social media by people who say he has never
6:14 pm
introduced a piece of legislation let him go get a sport coat these people are nuts and i think the less amplified donald trump is the better the g.o.p. has finding its way back home and really quickly i just want to get really thoughts on this as well what what is the future of the g.o.p. what can we gauge from what's happening right now. i think that the g.o.p. is going to be fine as far as liz cheney is concerned you know the issue is messaging what will our opposition will be able to use and when it's when it's you and it in many ways liz cheney has kind of fed into the into trouble narrative personally i don't think that she is a good record a good leader in the party what what we need right now but i think that the g.o.p. we're going to be charged and ready to go for 2022 and contrary to what many of my conservative colleagues believe i do not believe that donald trump is a while ago candidate for 2024 so i'm throwing my hat behind him. look that was
6:15 pm
a whole endorsement and we're going to have to leave it right there guys thanks for joining me in the least abdul anarchies very own. thanks for that. as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hops on demand for the brand new portable t.v. ad available on all platforms coming up we'll discuss why nonviolent inmates released home during filming 19 might soon be returning to prison they took to watching the hot. playing.
6:16 pm
something for you your sports speech q. i'm a journalist it's all i know being a truth teller people say i make among comparable good uses like a jackhammer to drill down to find the truth newt gingrich because it's time to do news again and question more. only the corporate parasites in power today might think their role continue forever whether they're right or wrong we have to keep fighting question. the mainstream media swarming with false hoods riddled with censorship and under
6:17 pm
corporate control you think capable of truly informing its audience they can't rise above the corrupt motives of those calling the shots when you awaken so this fact turns aren't see america where we dare to question more. how to read our read i turn on the t.v. on the about the world and what's happening around me i see shows on the screen in last every day because of the news near its steady state. maybe good to see you are really good no prisoners were farm after car brick by brick building this is making plenty of them in the store but i found that there were no questions.
6:18 pm
stay home save lives it became the national motto for kobe 1000 protection sound simple enough right the best way to social distance and stop the spread is limiting contact with others but what about those who reside where social distancing just isn't possible that was the question for the just department in the bureau of prisons last year more than 24000 nonviolent federal prisoners were allowed to serve out their sentences at home to slow the spread of covert 1000 in lockdown but the justice department memo issued in the final days of the truck administration says those inmates who sentences go beyond the pandemic must be brought back to prison many of these individuals have already gone home reunited with their families started school got jobs but now that progress is all in flux advocates are
6:19 pm
urging the justice department to rescind the memo pointing to president biden's campaign promise to those with criminal records that they would have a chance to redeem themselves it's important to note that of the 24000 prison prisoners who were allowed to go home less than one percent have violated the terms of their home confinement and only 3 have committed new crimes. joining me now is republican strategist chris for produce good to have you chris. next mission. well chris for starters let's talk about this from a dollars and cents standpoint it costs roughly $37000.00 annually or $1220102.00 per day to house just one federal prisoner that's a lot of money. those released in tacoma 19 they were all nonviolent and they're now carrying out their sense of that home it's not only costly to bring them back but also disruptive to this whole idea of redemption what are your thoughts. and
6:20 pm
that's right it certainly is a burden on taxpayers as well as a burden on their families and the reality is that it's a look we have come together and cooling off since. at least in the political party since under president from bob schieffer criminal justice reform that was a big push for him as you know and the reality is this i agree with you that is kind of a step back because it sends a message of well you know if we're given the opportunity to move forward in the move their lives together then why are we letting them go one step to me back which direction somebody in the bridge is a lot of us who we have been working very hard full time jobs they are taking care of their families financially emotionally and some of these folks are interacting with their families for the very 1st time literally in decades and i want to know to metion so a lot of these individuals are in their sixty's late fifty's and seventy's and look like you clip you just played the reality is this where they really go and we have them monitored 247 by ankle placements it doesn't make their school since it
6:21 pm
doesn't make logical sense but these individuals are making steps to move forward in the trends in their lives absolutely and the you kind of alluded to this in your last response but the winds of change on criminal justice reform are more like a tornado the thing democrats or republicans are really finding much consistent on anything but it's things both sides of the aisle are singing from the same song book on this one republican senator chuck grassley raised concerns with sending people back to prison noting that the overwhelming majority released are following the rules could this model of home confinement change how we deeply schmit for nonviolent criminals. no so i don't think that and i don't think we should go in that direction just yet even a small percentage of individuals as you said by way of their. in the terms of the release however i think because of copa 19 it was something that made a lot of sense they were 4 times more likely to contract the virus and present it was actually out of control in britain so i'm glad they came up with this great solution to do this i don't know that's
6:22 pm
a good long term solution to do but i want to know too these individuals are nonviolent criminals so i think it's a great program and i think it works very very very efficiently one of the stories that touched my heart was a lady not you know older and mid sixty's she had a chance to now a bit of relationship moving further with her 94 year old mother unfortunately her daughter passed away should an amateur a chance to see her grandchildren graduate. high school and college and other things something's got to be put in the 4th relationship and so for us to break up these families does not make a lot of sense at all so i think what senator dick durbin is doing and others has to make do is to push his charge i think politics aside with got to kind of take a deep breath and then you know because of that is really coming to common ground not about democrats not about republicans moving the ball forward and coming to a solution. and chris in a letter to attorney general merrick garland advocacy groups are he quote
6:23 pm
a stablish in community ties and deepening family connections are known to be significant positive factors for reducing with that of them and in that same letter they mention disrupting that process would mean disrupting state reintegration into society and damaging networks that are vital to improving public safety how much do you think this will factor into a possible responding of the initial minimum. look i frankly don't know look i think it will make a difference perhaps a little bit but here's the reality of it people cannot letters they want to this is something that and i hate to say it when i don't want to run into is a political football i think that mary garland or energy no merrick garland has to take a stand and really present biden and what frustrates me is that. well you know we want to march for this one approaches for bad to complain about this and that but these are real policy points that affect a large amount of individuals and probably minorities and so we want to start talking policy issues not party identity politics but policy this to me is the type
6:24 pm
of thing to go out there and make sure that it gets done to me and vice president molly harris should be standing up and she's talking about this and should be obviously calling on attorneys you know mary called in to say hey let's rescind this could it's it literally is his to say that he can resign and then pretty much up with the 2nd so to speak and that's simply you know unless you send him an issue of some of the being in the segment has been a very small fraction has done things less than 3 people is absolutely different these folks are out here doing a phenomenal job and they're doing outstanding things to turn our lives around and that's what america's about so if we can focus on moving forward a nation that's about progress and about growth and what are we really doing flintoff it's been the way that's what this whole point is about and i don't care what side someone is on the g.o.p. or democrat we have to put all that nonsense aside we have to start acting like american people human beings and that's what this really is about a brought this up earlier when we're looking at this we have to recognize that these are individuals who had just been released and were allowed to go and do
6:25 pm
whatever whenever they chose there were certain restrictions that were tacked to that in a tent in addition to having surveillance having these having the ankle monitor it having to report and to check in with officers at the end of the day we know that so things have worked we know that these individuals are not out committing war crimes we know that these individuals are basically trying to restart and reshape their lives what does it give you and what does it say about us as a nation if when given that opportunity the individuals are not doing anything that is against the law they're not doing or committing any more criminal acts that we just ignore the fact that they've made so much progress that's what the ability and is supposed to be about and then return them to prison. you know that has a great question and that's my entire point of force and i think our nation is so divided right now which is absolutely dickless and we keep going back to well trump they have said that and by doing this and that's a problem we have to stop playing the blame game and start focusing on solutions and possibly win things forward really what inspired me in the segment i was
6:26 pm
talking to as each of our system in chicago and you know she she offered essentially that i think as a business owner and as a leader on america it's important people come together collectively as you said and she had a great idea she talked about coming up with something to donate money to help these individuals out for job opportunities in other situations i think is great and i think we need people like that who are willing to come in and who are willing to make a stand and it takes us that kind of support that individual because it's going to take a big effort it's not going to be something that we know we can do. overnight and the reality is that it's going to take us a nation to really come together and look some of these folks can't they can't get jobs right but at the same time we have people like c.c. you know who has a clothing line at $60.00 a month if people like you who will in a stable sort of place or young who say look if all of us come together and give these people opportunities to move forward they can have about a lot we can can we can i think david see how you drop a challenge for your sister's business and they are chris and that is all the time
6:27 pm

6:29 pm
change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth arts he's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical that chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. questions new questions numbers as stars and lists as the
