it's incidental. and it's not it's a thing no matter what. you think you know me i'm famous for my views 'd. yours truly scary no. reading and salutations democrats and republicans are at war with each other little substantive change can happen in this clash of power different visions on basic things like what it means to be a democracy the role of the police what it actually even happened on january 6th and who won the 2020 presidential election republicans are leading the charge on misinformation lives and fighting to maintain a white supremacist status quo recently the centers for disease control and prevention c d c added another wrinkle to the growing partisan divide c.d.c.

director rochelle alinsky is on the defense after the agency told people who are fully vaccinated against kobe 19 if they can go without a mask the c.d.c. recommendation comes at an odd time considering america is nowhere near herd immunity to mask or not to mask that is the question well masking bell along ideological lines from the very start conservative states largely refused to mandate it and those states also have lower vaccination rates but more importantly how do restaurants bars grocery stores and other public spaces know who's vaccinated and who isn't will they be be virtually checking for vaccine cards or operating on an honor system these are the primary questions state and local governments are grappling with now once again made her sunday morning t.v. rounds with a stop on n.b.c.'s meet the press and had this to say. this was not permission to

shed masks for everybody everywhere this was really science driven individual assessment of your risk. well the problem with that statement is for too many americans never saw it as a threat to begin with and the c.d.c. updated guidance could bring unintended consequences and to make matters more prickly the largest nurses union can do in the new c.d.c. mass guidance saying it's not based on science so who should we believe it may is mental health awareness month and all indicators point to disaster for americans particularly children the stressors of covert 90 job loss housing insecurity in school closures shot the rates of anxiety and depression through the roof with masking mental illness and a partisan divide it's time we start watching the hawks. on

a city the streets. are so let's see. this is the only state and city police traced graves suggests least systemic deception is complete show which. some joke. welcome everybody to watching the hogs on the beach across the rio is on vacation joining me now is infectious disease expert dr bob arnot good to see you again dr bob over use your granny for a while. well dr bob i wish we were having a conversation under better circumstances but the c.d.c. its latest guidance is sending a lot of people into confusion the c.d.c. says the update is backed by the science particularly science driven by israel but doesn't israel have a much higher covert vaccination rate than the u.s. in or their risk associated with unmasking america. great questions for faller show

as he runs the c.d.c. defy the brightest infectious disease expert of all time i had a chance to work with your team a couple of films this year she's a phenomenal visual i think though that you know she has a weak team in terms of prevention at the c.d.c. that con almost everything wrong you weren't supposed to mess there when they came to mask you rather than mass producing you know and 95 coffee hi folks ration mask people 100 of these terrible maps that provided like 3 percent protection the school guidance kept most schools closed this year you know or you know whatever and and he was for election high for a fresh mass and here in vermont we stay open all year so i think the advice is terrible but you must find this or that you say are very well in the introduction and that is in your eyes incredibly high vaccination very qatar has a very high vaccination rate and you know the very few tests hospitalizations serious illness with the vaccine trial and you pointed this out. 41 percent of

republicans are getting the vaccine the united states is going to do of all into a series of many states are going to have green states like vermont you know we're number one in health care and for people colors well we're number one in terms of actually asian mississippi is number 51 vaccination 51 in terms of health she going to happy states we have very low vaccination rates you have the various new insurgency of unity of all and it's going to be a disaster the worst part though is to have all these patients or say don't you know ask you more there was nothing intention but i love your expression of that is it's the law of unintended consequences that is the idea was to say hey you could have actually naturae we're going to take off your mask you know what if you haven't gotten one yet here's the lure if the vaccine if your mask i think is a disaster i think it's very much like what he did back in february when he told the indian population that code was over the i.c.'s were empty. a better life is

normal and as you saw these huge religious. political relics of what not. shot through the roof now will shoot through the roof here because that actually. but nonetheless i think you're going to see this law unintended consequences that were and you can see your number of sessions highlighted by the yankees. greats who infections on the johnson and johnson back see more to come and you can jump the shark on me a little bit here dr bob but so since you let into it private industry is already jumping on the mass mandates we have some of the biggest places starbucks target trader joe's and wal-mart they're all basing their is on some type of honor system they had do you have a vaccine do you not have a vaccine i'll take your word for it how can that possibly work and do you think this new c c mandate causes more problems specifically for state and local governments. i mean because it's huge for state governments especially in red states where you know reason or wear

a mask you know what's so interesting is you know a year ago february you know they figured out how to cover the content case tracy if you can contact to somebody with cohen you would have one of these mobile cabins and i slipped they went down that you know 0 number case the other the chinese have done over the last year is that they have had vaccine passports and their passports as you vaccination status as the number animal as you have it has test results if you want to partner we can move it or you know that actually ask for we're underneath it and we have a little piece of paper but now they're selling the us health chowderhead ones so there's no way of knowing who so so you know in the name of sort of and then you know it's not a procedure human rights you know we're going to lose tens of thousands of more people because we don't have the right kind of actually passports what. you see you really know somebody not so you know is a mess lives will be lost and to your point i think the largest nurses union

actually agrees with you and they have condemned the c.d.c. got it guidance saying quote this new if they do you think guidance is not based on science does not protect public health and threatens the lives of patients nurses and other front line workers across the country now is not the time to relax protective measures and we are outraged that the c.d.c. has done just that we are still in the midst of the deadliest pandemic in a century you are a letter that was sort of lovable were they shut down a year ago i mean it's as if we said hey you know i'm holding up deaths are down you don't have to are safe you got any more to take away the speeds don't it's ridiculous i think part of my fundamental most important thing is the c.d.c. has caught the disease completely on this is an airborne knows great article in wired just a couple of days ago in the that you know because this is so. you go through the year. no red zones. or you know whatever it is if you

don't have the right kind of the relation there then you know one can become a superstar of this virus every claims you know we know that 2 things were. worse and you know that hi folks where she acts words change he goes away we learned what to do or taking away exactly at the moment disaster. and we just have a very short amount of time left but i want to get your thoughts on this may it's mental health awareness month and after the year we've all had stressors anxiety and daily life triggers have caused lives to spiral out of control during the pandemic 4 in 10 adults across the us reported symptoms of anxiety and depression what do you think it's going to take to get us back on track and do we have the infrastructure to support these critical mental health needs. oh so we don't have the infrastructure we want to with. psychiatry mass general hospital rated number one in the country is a couple interesting things one is it's ok not to be ok a lot of us are this sort of very large you or sit inside rush or you know it's the

stern interest in them which is that a year ago 5 percent of their patients were chosen treatments that's now it's like 95 percent who have a new tool we have tell us to anybody in the country can he still holds medicine rules hold out allows people be able to access that kind of care and that's you actually said that is a likely that tell us a guy who's going to come to you said that rather than sit here under doctor's office and having to park in all the stress and anxiety it's killing your thumbs and what not city for us like our 1st you can actually do with that the sort of extra layer of protection for need so i think the resources can be there if we use charles psychiatry and if we have parents and all of his and brothers sisters to step up to say look you need help and i'm taking the extra step to get that help and dr bob i'm going to have to stop you there i totally agree with you as a matter of personal privilege i am doing tell a pair of the myself i can say that it works thanks for joining us and we look to

have you read mary 6. model but. there seems to be no end in sight to the latest round of fighting between israeli forces and hamas the conflict started 2 weeks ago after violence broke out when israeli authorities in east jerusalem pushed to evict palestinian families in order to make way for jewish settlers now an international call to stop the ongoing bloodshed it's falling on deaf ears as israel bows to push forward parties alex the hell of it as the story. as israel's iron dome takes so rockets fired by hamas a new day brings pressure is really strikes to the gaza strip. as the current round of violence enters its 2nd week. entire families were exterminated and their homes were demolished on top of their children by the raid that spread death terror and human remains in the rubble that destroyed buildings and streets

the palestinian death toll is approximately 200 including $59.00 children. and they are children they are 234 years old what did they do that made it necessary to kill them one of the targets the israelis were after they targeted their missiles at small children who did nothing wrong they were torn to pieces adding to the dead over 1200 palestinians have been injured in what some are calling unprecedented attacks a journalist on the ground reporting for r t describe the scene as really intensive ever strikes killing women and children inside their homes and it is important to note that israel did not send out 3 warning for these buildings this board before they bombarded them which is something. as israel used to warn to people before they attempted to strike the building on the israeli side there have been at least 10 deaths

including a 5 year old boy killed by hamas rockets while much of the world is asking for a cease fire to end the bloodshed including some of the u.n. the most urgent and depressing task at this moment is to the cease fire and the stuff is israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is not ready to comply our battle against the terror organization continues in full force we are charging very happy to prices from hamas for their aggression the i.d.f. carried out attacks on more than 1500 targets during the last days according to the israeli military it has destroyed 15 kilometers of. militant tunnels and the homes of 9 hamas commanders in addition this airstrike is said to have taken a hard hit the commander of the northern division of islamic jihad on saturday president joe biden spoke with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas

calling on hamas to seize rocket fire into israel in addition today abbas met with a u.s. diplomat in ramallah biden also talked to netanyahu get a rating his strong support for israel's right to defend itself and let me while raising concerns about the safety come journalists in the war zone over the weekend an office tower which housed several international media organizations was destroyed by the i.d.f. . netanyahu and his really military official said they've transmitted intelligence to the united states which shows hamas was using the building for their operations however the u.s. secretary of state while on a visit to denmark countered that claim i've not seen any information provided they stand that it is based on intelligence that would have been shared with other colleagues and i'll leave that to them to assess. efforts to stop the violence are

being blocked as u.s. representatives to the united nations continue to obstruct efforts by other countries who are asking for a joint statement from the u.n. security council which would condemn the violence and calls for a truce you know that not for watching the hawks i'm alex all right. as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v.'s available on all platforms coming up we explore how one mississippian received life in prison for marijuana possession and why you can't reform policing without qualified immunity stay tuned to watching the hawks.

turn on the t.v. one about the world it was happening around me i see shows on the screen and last every day because the big news near its steady state. building up business with the brick by brick globalism they came out. in this war but i found it worked at all. wall street is busy trading your money 5 days a week and there are 4 corners in the familiar 3 major stock market. and when you have 2 options drive or fail it all becomes clear there's just one business show you can't afford to manage. the one and only. find it now on portable t.v. . and an ocean of

stories even the news worth knowing can overwhelm the oh. you could even lose your way i know you want it all so let me bring you the best. it's easy just. play. for so much going on in the world don't you think was the last time you had a real bird's eye view of. the news feed or just hours of bickering give me 30 minutes i'll take you off the low. i'm a journalist it's all i know being a truth teller people say i make them uncomfortable good news is like a jackhammer good drill down to find the truth newt gingrich in church because it's time to do news again and question more.

he quality and racism are the foundations of the american criminal justice system blacks are charged at rates higher the whites serve longer sentences and year after year cycle repeats itself the war on drugs is ill fated and targeting as it is is doing exactly what it was designed to do a case in point russell allen allen is a black man serving life in prison stemming from a marijuana conviction in mississippi that was uphill just this week the mississippi court of appeals denied russell's appeal arguing he is a habitual offender that classification eliminated any judicial discretion and basically guarantees harsh sentencing even when the offense is nonviolent and i know what you might be thinking 3 strikes laws and yes this is similar have

actually bender statutes have a scrutiny across civil rights and criminal justice advocacy circles and poor really good reason they systemically attack blacks who are 3 times more likely to get arrested for marijuana infractions than whites even though use and possession rates are similar across both demographics in alan's case the 38 year old was found guilty of possession in 2019 but because he had 2 prior charges he is facing life but his case isn't unique the mississippi clarion ledger reported just last year that there were 86 have bitch will open doors serving life without parole because of convictions for nonviolent crimes just like alan the bite administration for its part is working to make a campaign promise a reality. police reform. but to get a police reform bill across democrats need republican support it's no secret that

police reform is needed last summer's george boy protests put the issue front and center and both sides can agree on that but the sticking point is qualified immunity republicans one except a bill that includes it progressive democrats want except one without it but moderates like house majority whip james clyburn signaled that he's willing to compromise on. joining us now to discuss criminal justice reporter and police accountability is former police officer and prosecutor authorizer good to see you art. a life sentence for nonviolent offense things particularly egregious but allen's case is that where a louisiana man with given life in prison for less than $30.00 of marijuana considering states themselves are finding ways to profit off of marijuana why are these students in theater still occurring. i mean this is do or perish from the war on drugs and other types of drugs in criminal justice measures and you saw kind of pop up and said i will say this is a visit a bit of

a misnomer. for marijuana. seriously which is you for 2 for burglary and one for firearms. and just. look at past inventions and the term mean what your sense is going to be in fact you can look at things that you were convicted for it turn in your sentence but i think that this really is a testament to how the war and drugs it's rude lost its way particularly kind of ignore what we know about. i mean this individual is in the east we know that people start. people kind of each out of crime. just stop committing crime after a certain age and particularly in your early thirty's i'm 44 there's no way we communicate through all that and we kind of ignore these things as relates to sentencing and looking at past visions yes he looked he had some serious which is

an ast but i don't think we know about why crimes committed so also that this last addiction is it a degree of public concern and policy to concern really should be what we're looking at if this individual's not dangerous then there's no reason to put. in a prison little hole going to prison for a license and that is a posture is it doesn't make it safer and it costs a lot of money and then you're right i mean the fact that so many are held up in this way this is not something that's not the start of california. kind of spread its way through this country it's been affected in the south and really is a testament to why we need to stop the drugs as it's her. and not there is there any value in her loss and considering they have such a long history of abuse and structural racism do you think there is hope of having

them rooted out. sure i actually do not like the visual for the precise reason i just when she was that it doesn't take into account what we actually know what about why he didn't commit crimes when people somebody who was incredibly violent or early twenty's by the time i think other. they were really kind of off the edge as it relates. to mission people just don't do things as they get older i mean i used to be an avid snowboarder of the story the whole. 3 months ago and i decided i'm never going to be just you all for the same thing that happens with any type of behavior that people the other thing about have visual laws is that when you create a system that doesn't have a lot of c.g. valve's there are people who have those who. are the ones who get caught up in the quieter and in this country you know that. traditionally and historically have been

. minorities and children and the fact is it's not you know rich black people who get caught up in this is it's not rich white people it's primarily poorer the jewels and then great sort of the individuals that almost always get wrapped up in this and again it doesn't make a secret it's. if i could look at the data the data said to me yeah you know what these laws actually our streets safer i would have a much harder time sitting here telling you that these 3 strikes you're out at the bit or. don't work i mean this is goes back to also be the. children back in the eighty's they don't actually make a secret because they don't need to say probably should probably be advanced. and moving on to qualified immunity i know you've written a lot about it you've spoken a lot publicly about it qualified immunity has become one of the most controversial legal theories can you explain to our audience what it is exactly and why criminal justice reform advocates argue it has to end before any true police reform can take

place. now surely the real quick history lesson qualified immunity started as a weapon for free black people after the civil war that's why it was designed to do just that quality that the law that said you can sue the government or file your constitutional rights and what happened in the sixty's that the powers that be got nervous that civil rights leaders were more sophisticated and then started using makes it through i was. 18 if you want to actually go and change the way that they fucked me which is mostly why it would come out of this judge me doctrine which is quite crazy isn't it conservatives you know support this now because they hate just doctrines and the judge it's pretty simple basically says that if even if we can prove that your constitutional rights were violated you have to go to the 2nd step and show that that was clearly established within that

jurisdiction and within a federal law we're still. going to worry rats because. we want to give some kind of a barrier and ensure that police officers and other government actors this is always hard but it wise to everyone and give them an extra layer of protection so i mean all you need is protected cops who shot and. no man who was lying on the floor. you know while there were a need for a fairly pass if a protective police officer who purposely allowed his dog to sit and by an individual who was already in cuts and years that the. that blows me away also stole money during the search were prosecuted for fact and are still protected under the civil side under control but i would rather have the tax officers acting . as metastasizing your groups. were police wrongdoing and this is

really a police reform you know this isn't about me cases but. if you really quick. are there i wish we could but we are really running up against the clock here i'm definitely going to have to have you back on to give us that last easter byron passion was definitely there thank you so much arthur rising. and that is our show for you today and remember everyone in this world we're not told we're loved enough so i tell you i love you i'm amazed across people watching those talks and have a great day and night it's like. hey everyone i'm joined by my old friend mr ellis williams aka mr beings you call me and you tell me you say man i got caught i feel and it worked what made you get
